in Alabama and will be one of only ten Coast Guard JROTC
programs nationwide in 2023-2024!
Description:
Students will be introduced to the Coast Guard Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) program. Cadets will receive basic instruction in communication, study skills, leadership, physical fitness, drill and ceremonies, government and citizenship, Coast Guard missions, assets, and organization of the service. Cadets will perform a variety of school and community service activities to include a service-learning project. Extracurricular opportunities include both individual and team competitions – marksmanship, Color Guard, drill, and athletic team (fitness/military skills). Other activities include field trips, orientations, military unit visits, parades, colors presentations, hikes, et al. Cadets will wear the Coast Guard uniform one entire school day each week and as otherwise directed and will perform drill once a week and participate in other physical fitness activities twice a week.
