The focus of JROTC in the Washoe County School District, Silver State Brigade is reflected in its mission, “To motivate

young people to be citizens of character by instilling in them a sense of personal responsibility, accomplishment and the

importance of serving their nation and community.” JROTC accomplishes this mission by providing exceptional

educational opportunities and lifelong skills to America’s youth. The Character Education Partnership identifies programs

that build character as those with less violence; higher self-esteem; less absenteeism; higher achievement scores and

academic performance; more connected to school, engaged in lessons, and committed to success. The curriculum helps

Cadets develop life-long leadership and decision making. These skills are exhibited on a daily basis; and, set a model for

the student body to emulate. The curriculum supports the school’s mission and mandates by integrating technology,

linking content to state standards, integrating reading and writing, and providing character and financial education. The

JROTC goals are to promote citizenship, develop leadership and critical/creative thinking, teach to communicate

effectively, improve physical fitness, provide incentive to live drug free, strengthen positive self-motivation, provide global

awareness to include historical perspective of military service, train to work as a team member, inspire to graduate from

high school, and attend institutions of higher learning. JROTC Core Abilities are: Build your capacity for life-long

learning; Communicate using verbal, visual and written techniques; Take responsibility for your actions and choices; Do

your share as a good citizen in your school, community, country and the world; Treat self and others with respect; and

apply critical thinking techniques.

JROTC Cadets set the example by being active in the community as well as the school. They exemplify a tremendous

work ethic and standard that increases the expectations of all. They serve as role models to the other students in the

school. They are not just talking about achievement, service to the community, and filling leadership roles – they are

doing it. Cadets know how to set goals as well as how to develop and follow a plan to reach them. They are willing to

help others accomplish these too. They participate in academic, marksmanship, drill and ceremony, orienteering, physical

fitness, and leadership competitions and, when they qualify, they travel to participate at higher levels.

Four semesters of JROTC will give waivers to fulfill the Nevada physical education requirement for graduation.

JROTC does not recruit for the military; only about ten percent of the nation’s JROTC Cadets go on to military service;

also, JROTC does not teach combat training or conduct combat operations; however, we do teach adventure training

such as rappelling and orienteering, and selected students will attend our annual JROTC Cadet Leadership Challenge

camp (JCLC).

Required educational materials will be provided. One uniform will be issued, accounted for, and turned in at the end of

the school year or when student leaves the program. The uniform will be worn regularly throughout the school year on

designated uniform wear days (a minimum of two times per month), and during other special activities/competitions

throughout the school year. Classes must be taken in the sequence below.
