What is JROTC?

JROTC Here At Mariner

JROTC stands for the U.S. Army Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps. In JROTC, you learn how to become a better citizen and a human being. It may seem like a military class that trains you for the military, but it actually leans more towards character development and preparing you for the future. The instructors here at Mariner love mentoring and preparing students for life after high school, as well as teaching them how to be better people.

We have a plethora of different special teams and activities to do after school. If you love physical activity and you have that competitiveness, then raiders is a perfect fit for you. If you love learning about technology, then one of our STEM teams is perfect. We love providing the opportunity to build toward your future and your future career, as well as life long lessons that you use later on in life.

During our PT days, we go outside and plan something for the cadets, like team-building exercises such as launch volleyball where cadets are on teams and use nets to launch a big "volleyball" over a net. We do these kinds of activities to get cadets motivated, to build teamwork, and trust. All of our activities are cadet led as well, so it gives the upper classmen a chance to connect with the freshmen and the sophomores.

Selfless Service

One Of The 7 Army Values

Selfless service is one of the most important army values. Here at Mariner JROTC, we believe in being there for each other, helping each other out, and volunteering to help others.

Service Learning Projects

We believe that participating in service learning projects not only benefits your skill set, but most importantly your character and your way of thinking. We work on tons of service learning projects here at the Leadership Academy.

The Future

Helping humanity as a whole and being there for each other can go a long way. We will always strive to do exactly just that.
