JROTC

“Colony High School established the first and only Army Junior ROTC program in the Mat-Su School District in 1992.

 

Colony JROTC offers multiple co-curricular programs to help us achieve our primary goal of ‘motivating young people to be better citizens’. This goal is achieved by teaching the value of community service, marksmanship, drill and ceremony, drone proficiency, and teamwork. Additionally, students are given the opportunity to challenge themselves by attending a week-long leadership camp that takes place annually on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson along with JROTC students from other schools. JROTC gives students interested in military service an advantage by earning credit towards various commissioning programs, gaining appointment at one of the service academies (e.g. West Point), and automatic advancement to E-3 if the cadet has completed three years in JROTC and wishes to enlist.

 

At its core, JROTC is a program designed to develop future leaders for the community. Colony JROTC has helped thousands of students achieve greater potential and make better life-choices by instilling discipline, promoting good human values and ethics, generating organizational pride, and challenging students both physically and mentally at every opportunity.
