About the Program

Air Force Junior ROTC (AFJROTC)

Program Overview

Develop the character, self-confidence, and self-discipline necessary to thrive in any professional career. The Air Force JROTC Career Program offers a dynamic, four-year sequential curriculum emphasizing aerospace science, leadership education, military history, and overall health and wellness. While military enlistment is not required, cadets build foundational leadership traits that distinguish them in both corporate and civic arenas. College-bound students also gain a competitive edge when applying for Air Force Academy nominations or Air Force ROTC scholarships. Schedule permitting, students are encouraged to partake in work-based learning experiences outside of the building. Upon completion of the program, students can earn a high school diploma and technical certifications, qualify for increased rank upon enlistment, or continue their advanced studies in leadership.
