The United States Army's Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps, or JROTC, is designed to teach high school students the value of citizenship, leadership, service to the community, personal responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment, while instilling in them self-esteem, teamwork, and self-discipline. Its focus is reflected in its mission statement, "To motivate young people to be better citizens." It prepares high school students for responsible leadership roles while making them aware of their rights, responsibilities, and privileges as American citizens. The program is a stimulus for promoting graduation from high school, and it provides instruction and rewarding opportunities that will benefit the student, community, and nation.

 

Junior ROTC Program

The Evan E. Worthing High School Junior ROTC Instruction Program in the Houston Independent School District is established under the provisions of Section 40a and Section 55c of the National Defense Act of 1916 as amended in June 1920, and October 1964.  Public Law 88-647 extended Junior ROTC to all services.  The current law under which the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force offer instruction to high school students is Title 10, Section 2031 United States Code, and Chapter 102.  Department of Defense Instructions 1205.13, dated 26 Dec 1995, implements Title 10 by providing instructions to each military service secretary.
