NJROTC is an elective course offered at Harding Senior High School. Its objective is to teach citizenship and leadership values to high school students.
In Brief) JROTC is a military based-class throughout many high schools in the nation. The military branches: Marines, Army, Air Force, and Navy each has their own respective, individual JROTC programs that is represented by different private and public schools. However, our JROTC program is one of the many schools that represents the Navy. Students in NJROTC, are referred to as a "cadet". They ar
e given the opportunity to learn leadership and citizenship values and ethics that guides them not only in high school, but hopefully in life as well. These (leadership and citizenship)opportunities are: volunteering around communities and schools in the areas of light Labor work at community events (run games, fun-houses, and set-up/clean-up), environmental perseverance, and fundraising money for the unit. Cadets - over the course of the school year - are often advanced/promoted to encourage them to keep up the amazing service they give back to their communities. Also, to give them more responsibilities to carry on and manage for the better of the unit. In addition, cadets are highly encouraged to join JROTC competition teams such as: Armed and Unarmed Drill, Armed and Unarmed Exhibition Drill, Academic Team, Physical Fitness Team, Color Guard Team,and Orienteering Team. Fun is definitely not left out of our priorities. Because what you have just read up there, seems like a lot of work. Cadets are given an opportunity to compete and travel as well as participate in parades. We compete in Sports, Drill, and Orienteering competitions in different areas in and out of Saint Paul. For our annual regional competition, the cadets will take a coach bus down to Chicago,Illinois to compete against (usually) 15 - 18 high schools with a NJROTC program. For our sports competition, the first one is held at Harding and the second one is held at Fargo South High School in Fargo, North Dakota. There are also fun SPECIAL EVENTS such as: our Battalion Potluck, Awards Ceremony, Picnic, and Military Ball. In summary, NJROTC creates an atmosphere of students who comes together to accomplish great things for themselves, their communities, and future. We are a tight-knit family, and we want you to get the best experience and enjoy the rest of your high school years! For More information about NJROTC - http://www.njrotc.navy.mil
