GRANT HIGH SCHOOL MJROTC

Our Story

 What is Marine Corps Junior ROTC?  People who succeed in business, industry, and education have often developed a strong self-discipline, maturity, an ability to lead and motivate others, and are well-rounded.  The Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (MCJROTC) teaches young men and women the kind of self-discipline, self-confidence, and leadership skills that can help them successfully meet the challenges of adulthood.  MCJROTC Curriculum, instruction, and activities are designed to develop the leadership abilities of each student, regardless of which career path is followed. 

Marine Corps Junior ROTC

 

  • What is the curriculum like for MCJROTC?  The curriculum is usually four years in length. It consists of a minimum of (180) hours per year of both classroom and field instruction in a wide variety of subjects. A full range of courses, introductory through advanced, are offered in leadership and the application of leadership techniques. MCJROTC provides instruction in the development of good habits and attitudes, problem-solving techniques, the essential characteristics for success, civic and group leadership, and planning to meet the challenges of adult life. Military orientation and organization classes teach Marine Corps customs, courtesies, and traditions. Cadets study the Department of Defense and the National Security Organization. There is instruction and participation in basic drills, the Manual of Arms, and how to conduct parades and inspections. MCJROTC students study first aid and personal hygiene. Cadets discover plenty of adventure in outdoor living and survival training courses. MCJROTC puts a strong emphasis on challenging physical training. There are programs for getting into shape and staying in shape. Nationwide, physical fitness competitions are held with male and female groups vying for unit and individual awards. Marksmanship and weapons instruction are offered to those students who receive parental consent. Cadets study the principles of small arms, safety precautions, maintenance, and inspection of weapons. Matches both intramural and against other schools are held using air pellet rifles. Finally, many specialized courses of instruction and orientation trips are offered depending upon the particular MCJROTC unit that is attended. 

Who Can Join

  • Eligibility requires students to be of good moral character, willing to work hard, physically fit, be in a grade above 8th grade, and attend a high school with an MCJROTC unit.  Additionally, students MUST wear the uniform at least once per week, participate in physical training twice a week, maintain a regulation haircut, be clean-shaven, and uphold the standards of the MCJROTC Program at all times.

Drill Team/Color Guard

  • Drill is an integral part of the Marine Corps Junior ROTC program. Drill teaches good discipline, enhances concentration, and builds esprit de corps in a unit. Cadets are encouraged to join our competition team to represent our school in drill events throughout the year. Our training and meet schedule is listed below:
