LEADERSHIP EDUCATION and TRAINING

Concordia Lutheran High School offers an Army Junior Reserve Officer Training Corp (JROTC) program that provides students the opportunity to develop important skills in leadership, management, and citizenship. The goal of Concordia’s JROTC program is to develop students as excellent Christian leaders, increase a student’s self confidence, organizational and interpersonal skills, and instill values of personal responsibilities, honor and integrity. JROTC trains students to solve problems, overcome obstacles, set goals and achieve them and work as part of a team and as a leader. JROTC is open to all Concordia students and may be taken in lieu of a physical education course. A student must take a full year of JROTC to fulfill one semester of P.E. requirement.

JROTC is not just a series of classes, but a comprehensive program. Students may also choose to participate in a variety of extra-curricular activities such as drills teams, marksmanship teams, outdoor adventure training and field trips. School letters may be earned by participating in competitive drill and marksmanship teams. While most students who complete the JROTC program do not enter the military, interested students may receive special consideration for ROTC scholarships, may be nominated to attend a military academy and or be eligible to enlist at a higher rank in a military service

All materials and uniforms are furnished at no cost. Uniforms are generally worn twice a month for inspection and drill.
