MILITARY SCIENCE: 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 AFJROTC and a minimum 1.5 overall grade point average. 375111CW ELECTIVE CURRICULUM 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.
