The objective of the JROTC Program is "to motivate young people to be better
citizens" by providing instruction in and application of good citizenship and
character, responsibility, leadership development, self-worth, communicative
skills, problem solving, discipline, respect, ethics and wellness of body, mind
and spirit-attributes which will benefit the student, the community and the
nation. The program is based on a systematic progression of learning that is
designed for the cadet's development and maturity at each grade level.
Under block scheduling, the program consists of four school years and eight
blocks with 135 hours each block. Each block is called Leadership, Education and
Training (LET) level--LET1 through LET8. During the first school year of JROTC,
LET1 & 2 is offered as a two-block integrated course of instruction in
Lifetime Wellness and basic JROTC. Both blocks must be taken to gain one
elective credit in JROTC plus one core credit in Wellness. Each subsequent
school year consists of a JROTC elective credit during each block. Successful
completion through LET 8 can also be used to satisfy the graduation requisite
1/2 core credit for U.S. Government. To derive maximum benefit from the program,
a student is encouraged to take JROTC all four school years, which gains a total
of 8.5 credits: seven elective credits in JROTC plus one core credit in
Wellness, and equivalency core credit in U.S. Government required for
graduation. Each block after LET 1 is consecutively progressive and requires
credit for the preceding block and teacher's recommendation to take the next
successive block.

first term, he/she cannot enter the second term and must earn the Lifetime
Wellness credit separate from the JROTC program.
