What is NJROTC?
NJROTC is one of many of Livingston High Schools electives. We are a elective program whose mission is to teach students leadership, citizenship, character, and community service. The core values of the NJROTC creed emphasizes working to better the cadet’s family, school, and country.
You may think that NJROTC is a military preparation program, but as you can see, it’s not in its mission. Since its beginnings in 1916, the purpose of NJROTC has been to teach cadets leadership, geography, civics, health, global awareness, life skills, and U.S. history. With this focus, you will be better positioned to function in life itself, even if you never go into the military.
What Is The Purpose Of NJROTC?
The goal of our NJROTC program is good citizenship. As a NJROTC cadet, you’ll get a sense of home and a greater sense of family. You will be taught the values of citizenship by doing the right thing daily. In a NJROTC class, you can build skills such as leadership, self-confidence, and discipline. These are qualities that are necessary for you to succeed in any career. Personal skills like health, nutrition, and financial management are also stressed.
Can JROTC prepare students for life after High School?
The answer is definitely! Studies have shown that there are several positive academic and non-academic benefits of participation in JROTC. A Rand report showed that there were positive associations between GPA and NJROTC participation. Students who were part of a NJROTC unit were less likely to drop out of high school and attended classes more frequently. NJROTC cadets have a stronger sense of community and pursued military careers through ROTC scholarships and service academics. NJROTC is also seen in a favorable light by college admissions counselors.
