The Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) provides a citizenship, character, and leadership development program for high school students. It is a cooperative effort between Howard County Public School System (HCPSS), the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force. JROTC instruction prepares students in grades 9-12 for leadership roles while making them aware of their rights, responsibilities, and privileges as American citizens through rigorous instruction and hands-on activities. JROTC prepares students for life and there is no obligation to join the military.
Post 156 currently supports Army JROTC offered at Atholton and Howard High Schools, and Air Force JROTC offered at Oakland Mills High School. Click here for details of the program offered at each school.
