MILITARY SCIENCE CURRICULUM EMERALD HIGH SCHOOL “Air Force Junior ROTC is a citizenship program for
high school students in the ninth through twelfth grades. AFJROTC encourages its students to get involved
in their local communities to produce well-informed and helpful citizens.
Each year’s Aerospace Science course work relates to a different theme,
examples are: Frontiers in Aviation
History, The Science of Flight, and The Exploration of Science. To enhance classroom learning, students
participate in extracurricular and social activities such as field trips,
drill teams, honor guards, and model rocketry, and dinning-outs. Course content is normally divided between
Aerospace Science (40%) and Leadership Education (60%). Participation in AFJROTC meets the state
requirement for one (1) unit in Physical Education, so a fitness regime is
part of the course content. Students
who participate in AFJROTC are in no way obligated to the military. PROGRAM BENEFITS Qualified AFJROTC cadets are eligible for advanced
rank and pay grade upon enlistment in the service. College scholarship opportunities are available for suitable
AFJROTC candidates who wish to pursue a college education. Cadets who qualify may also be nominated
to attend one of the service academies.
Program graduates will have developed proven leadership and management
skills and values that will enhance their ability to perform in academic and
employment arenas. ENROLLMENT Candidates for the AFJROTC program must be enrolled
in, and attending, a regular course of instruction at Emerald High School
(EHS). In addition, students must be at least fourteen years old, physically
fit, and of good moral character.
Students who wish to continue in the program must maintain at least a
“C” average in AF JROTC and a minimum 1.5 overall grade point average. 375111CW AFJROTC 1 Prerequisites: United States citizen or in the
process of gaining citizenship 1 Unit This course serves to orient cadets to the AFJROTC
program. Students receive an
introduction to the heritage, organization, traditions, and core values of
the Emerald High School AFJROTC program.
Leadership training involves introduction to drill and ceremonies,
proper wear of the uniform, customs and courtesies, and the physical fitness
program. Cadets may also elect to
participate in various co-curricular activities: Color Guard, Drill Team,
Honor Guard, and Model Club. Cadets
are also expected to participate in a variety of community and school service
projects such as the Adopt-A-Highway program. 375112CW AFJROTC 2 Prerequisites: Successful completion of AFJROTC 1 1 Unit This course continues to develop the student's knowledge
of the AFJROTC organization and today's aerospace world. Students receive
instruction in aviation history and heritage, the development of air power
and aerospace traditions, and the role of contemporary aviation in today's
world. Leadership training emphasizes
individual self-control, personal responsibility, citizenship in the United
States, and wellness, health, and fitness.
Core values and teamwork continue to be developed. Drill and ceremonies, fitness, and
community service projects continue to be emphasized through a variety of
activities. 375211CW AFJROTC 3 Prerequisites: Successful completion of AFJROTC 1
and 2 1 Unit In this course, cadets are introduced to course
material covering the aerospace environment including elements on weather and
the atmosphere, and principles of flight and navigation. Students receive hands-on training in
model rocketry. Leadership training
focuses on understanding individual and group behaviors, exploring basic
leadership concepts, and developing communication skills through effective
writing, speaking, and listening.
Drill and ceremonies, fitness, and community service activities remain
integral components of the program. 375212CW AFJROTC 4 Prerequisites: Successful completion of AFJROTC 1,
2, and 3 1 Unit In this course, cadets continue to develop and build
on previous training. Leadership
opportunities challenge cadets to apply knowledge previously mastered. The aerospace science academics focus on
principles of flight and navigation and the human limitations of flight. Students continue the study of the
aerospace environment. Leadership
education includes basic principles of leadership, motivation, and teamwork. Cadets at this level take on a more active
role in training and supervising junior cadets and apply skills and knowledge
in real life situations. Drill and
ceremonies, fitness, and community service programs become vehicles for older
cadets to train more junior cadets.
Cadets completing AFJROTC IV may qualify to attend Summer Leadership
School training to further develop their leadership and management skills. 375311CW AFJROTC 5 Prerequisites: Successful completion of AFJROTC 1,
2, 3, and 4 1 Unit Aerospace science studies at this level include the
space environment and advances in space technology. Cadet's leadership education includes theories and practices of
management, techniques for stress management, and personal financial
management. Course material also
covers citizenship and ethics training.
Cadets are now senior leaders in the corps and expected to apply their
skills to supervising the day-to-day operations of the cadet corps. Cadets assume responsibility for planning
and implementing corps programs and activities such as drill competitions,
athletic events, the military ball, community service projects, field trips,
and physical fitness training. Senior
cadets are also responsible for weekly personal appearance inspections. Activities at this level are performance
based and student oriented and initiated to enhance leadership opportunities. 375312CW AFJROTC 6 Prerequisites: Successful completion of AFJROTC 1,
2, 3, 4, and 5 1 Unit Cadets continue to demonstrate leadership potential
by orchestrating a variety of extracurricular activities designed to
challenge their acquired skills. Many
of the activities nurture a sense of citizenship and community as well as
cultivate patriotism and esprit de corps in the individual cadets. Cadets at this level are responsible for
direct management of the corps. This
hands-on experience affords cadets the opportunity to put theories of
leadership and management in practice.
Cadets plan, organize, coordinate and direct corps activities. They also network with cadets in other
AFJROTC organizations, linking the local community to other AFJROTC programs
throughout the state and the nation.
This enhances both the local program and other programs in South
Carolina and the nation. Specific
course objectives follow the fourth-year plan, further developing areas which
are suited to the particular skill levels of the cadets enrolled in the
current program. 375411CW AFJROTC 7 Prerequisites: Successful completion of AFJROTC 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 1 Unit Honors Program - academic areas which can be pursued
include Laboratory Manual, Geography, Survival, and Community Contact. The laboratory manual program permits
cadets to perform experiments that supplement the knowledge acquired in
aerospace science texts: THE SCIENCE OF FLIGHT AND AEROSPACE SCIENCE: THE EXPLORATION
OF SCIENCE. The program is designed
to help students apply scientific concepts and principles in practical
experiments. In the geography
segment, cadets study the earth's surface and the processes that shape it,
places around the world, and the relationship between people and
environments. The survival curriculum
provides cadets with opportunities to develop strategies for surviving
natural disasters and emergency situations.
The community contact portion of the course focuses on recruiting other
students into the AFJROTC program.
This requires cadets to apply leadership skills to develop and
supervise awareness presentation (APT) teams to promote AFJROTC at middle
schools and various community events. 375412CW AFJROTC 8 Prerequisites: Successful completion of AFJROTC 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 1 Unit This course encourages students to explore
life-after-high-school options.
Cadets develop individual academic and professional resumes, assess
personal strengths and weaknesses, and consider realistic options for their
futures. Cadets investigate college
and technical training opportunities and use a variety of resources to
prepare for future education and employment goals. Cadets receive practical experience completing employment and
school applications, conducting mock interviews, and career and school
searches. Cadets continue to apply
theories and techniques learned in previous courses to supervise and manage
day-to-day operation of the corps.
The primary responsibility of these student leaders is to provide
mentoring opportunities for more junior cadets and continue to develop a
strong cadet corps to carry on the organization's traditions and core values
when the current students graduate from the program. Both seventh- and eighth-semester
programs can be modified to the situational needs of the student population
and changing needs of the school and cadet corps environment. GREENWOOD HIGH SCHOOL ARMY JUNIOR RESERVE OFFICER TRAINING CORPS Taught by retired Army personnel, the Greenwood High
School JROTC program is rated in the top ten percent of all Army JROTC
programs in the United States and overseas.
The program is designed to teach citizenship and leadership while
instilling self-esteem, teamwork, and self-discipline. To accomplish this goal, JROTC “combines
classroom instruction and extracurricular activities oriented toward
attaining an awareness of the rights, responsibilities, and privileges of
citizenship; developing the Cadet’s sense of personal responsibility;
building life skills; and providing leadership opportunities.” The focus of the Army JROTC program is reflected in
the mission statement: “To Motivate
Young People to be Better Citizens.”
The Army JROTC program is not a recruitment program for the Armed
Services. Combat skills are not
taught and there is no military obligation incurred by participating in the
program. The JROTC program at Greenwood
High School offers eight levels (semesters) of instruction. The program is open to all qualified male
and female full-time students. Army
JROTC is designed to help students understand the role of the good citizen in
American democracy and to assist students in exploring their potential as
leaders in civilian or military life.
The Program of Instruction (POI) includes components pertaining to
citizenship, leadership, communications, drug awareness, and physical
fitness. The JROTC program also meets
the State requirements for a unit of physical education (PE). Cadets may also participate in one or more of the
extracurricular activities: Color
Guard, Drill Teams (Fancy Exhibition Armed and Unarmed or Regulation Armed
and Unarmed), Pellet (Rifle) Team, or Raider (Adventure) Team. The Cadet Battalion also participates in a
variety of community service and school service projects. BENEFITS FOR COLLEGE BOUND STUDENTS: Academy Appointments: Seniors completing JROTC may be nominated to compete for
appointment to one of the service academies (Army-West Point, Navy-Annapolis,
The Air Force Academy) upon recommendation of the Senior Army Instructor and
the Principal. College ROTC: College ROTC credit may be granted by
the Professor of Military Science at the college or university that the
student attends. Students must have
successfully completed JROTC I, II, III, IV, V, and VI in order to receive

meet the requirements and needs of the lower classes. Cadets at this level are normally assigned
to key leadership positions such as unit commanders and primary staff officers. JROTC 6 cadets are utilized as assistant
instructors and are required to assist the Senior Army Instructor and Army
Instructor in teaching the first year cadets. As upper level unit leaders and staff officers, cadets are
responsible for planning, conducting, and supervising the activities of the
battalion. Activities include, but
are not limited to, the JROTC recruitment program, the military ball, drill
and ceremonies, physical fitness training, and community and school service
projects. 375421CW JROTC 7 Prerequisites: JROTC 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 1 Unit The leadership responsibilities for this level are
greatly expanded. Like JROTC 6
cadets, JROTC 7 academic subjects are tailored to meet the requirements and
needs of the lower level classes. JROTC
7 and 8 cadets are those cadets selected to assume the senior ranking
positions of the battalion. In order
to be selected for these positions, cadets must demonstrate outstanding
leadership in JROTC 6 and exhibit the potential to assume positions of the
highest authority and responsibility with minimal supervision. JROTC 7 and JROTC 8 cadets are at all
times expected to provide a proper example for lower level cadets to emulate. Those cadets selected to assume the duties
of battalion commander, battalion executive officer, and, in some cases,
company commanders are candidates for JROTC 7 and 8. 375422CW JROTC 8 Prerequisites: JROTC 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 1 Unit See JROTC 7 description above. The leadership responsibilities for JROTC
8 cadets are the greatest in the battalion.
JROTC 8 cadets will hold the highest positions in the battalion and
will perform assistant instructor and primary instructor duties. Since only those cadets who are selected
for highest levels of command and staff positions may take JROTC 7 and 8,
they must have the approval of the Senior Army Instructor and the Principal. TRADE AND INDUSTRIAL The goal and primary purpose of the administration
