The mission of Air Force Junior ROTC is “Developing citizens of character.” This student-led course promotes leadership education through the study of basic aviation and aerospace concepts influenced by the United States Air Force.
Students participate in hands-on learning experiences, including STEM-based labs that apply aerospace and scientific principles. Instruction also includes citizenship education, leadership development, military customs and courtesies, drill and ceremonies, and military traditions. Emphasis is placed on physical fitness, mental wellness, teamwork, and personal responsibility.
Air Force Junior ROTC is designed to build confidence, discipline, and leadership skills while preparing students to be responsible citizens and effective leaders in their school and community.
This is not a military course and does not require enrollment into the U.S. Military. Parents and students must complete the Department of Defence Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps Student Code of Conduct and Parent/Guardian Consent Form to remain in the course. Activities outside of regular school hours are encouraged but not required.
