Course Offerings
The Air Force Junior ROTC program provides students with an opportunity to learn and apply leadership skills
while also learning about aerospace science and its career opportunities. The curriculum includes Aerospace
Science (AS), Leadership Education (LE), and Wellness/Physical Training components. The AFJROTC
curriculum was reaccredited by Cognia in May 2022. Students wear the Air Force uniform once each
week. Uniforms are provided free of charge by the United States Air Force. Students perform physical training
once a week which consists of warm-ups, calisthenics, aerobic exercises, and other athletic activities.

Advanced students are placed in positions of responsibility and given full-supervised control of the Cadet
Group as leaders and managers. These students conceptualize, plan, organize and implement cadet
activities.

Students incur no military obligation whatsoever. However, students who might consider joining the military
as a career choice may enlist at a higher pay grade based on taking AFJROTC for two or more years.
Students interested in attending a Service Academy or College ROTC may gain additional
consideration/opportunity based on AFJROTC experience.

Instructors are devoted to providing quality classroom experiences to the students as well as emphasizing the
concept of high standards in citizenship, leadership, and scholarship which are beneficial to all students as
they progress in life. During the program, students earn five elective credits for each year of Aerospace
Science/Leadership Education taken, with students able to enter and leave the program the same as any other
elective program. To reinforce what is taught in the classroom, instructors and cadets participate in
CurriculumIn-Action (CIA) trips to military bases, aerospace facilities and industries, museums, civilian airports
and other areas related to aerospace and leadership education. AFJROTC offers the opportunity to participate
in after school competitive teams: academic, STEM, and drill events are available. Additionally, community
service projects are a major part of the AFJROTC experience and help instill a sense of civic pride and
citizenship within the school and local community.
