A content based curriculum which fully or partially addresses a number of national academic standards - to include Common Core State Standards (CCSS) - containing course work on leadership, civics, geography and global awareness, health, and wellness, language arts, life skills, and U.S. history. The curriculum is based on the principles of performance-based, learner-centered education and promotes development of core abilities: capacity for life-long learning, communication, responsibility for actions and choices, good citizenship skills, respectful treatment of others, and critical thinking techniques.

As important as "what" is learned in JROTC is "how" it is learned. JROTC Instructors are trained to utilize a range of technologies and develop social/emotional skills, support academic content through gaming and simulations, and promote the role of social media. Army JROTC students engage in meaningful, purposeful activities that lead them to demonstrate success through a portfolio of accomplishments.

They provide instruction in drill and ceremonies and in the principles of leadership and personal management. Instructors devote themselves to the Cadets in the classroom and during extensive extracurricular activities. Their hard work and devotion have resulted in an Army JROTC program which is highly acclaimed on local, state and national levels
Terms of Employment:  Individual will be offered an 10 month modified teaching contract with salary based upon the US Army Cadet Command minimum instructor pay (MIP) formula. The teaching contract is renewable on an annual basis, based upon satisfactory job/duty performance.
