AFJROTC is designed as a four-year program for high school students; however, students may participate in JROTC at anytime and for any duration. The curriculum includes Aerospace Science (AS), Leadership Education (LE) and Wellness. All students will be given credit towards graduation for successful completion of the AFJROTC program per the Air Force Memorandum of Agreement with Marion County Public Schools. Each academic course must consist of an AS component, an LE component, and a Wellness component, except in Aviation Honors Ground School classes, and stand-alone drill courses.
Aerospace Science (AS). AS acquaints students with the elements of aerospace and the aerospace environment. It introduces them to the principles of aircraft flight and navigation, the history of aviation, development of air power, contemporary aviation, human requirements of flight, cultural and global awareness, geography, the space environment, space programs, space technology, rocketry, propulsion, the aerospace industry, and survival.
Leadership Education (LE). LE is the portion of the AFJROTC curriculum that develops leadership skills and acquaints students with the practical application of life skills. The leadership education curriculum emphasizes discipline, responsibility, leadership, followership, citizenship, customs and courtesies, cadet corps activities, study habits, time management, communication skills, career opportunities, life skills, financial literacy, management skills, and drill and ceremonies.
In addition to our core curriculum, we emphasize the importance of academics through the Kitty Hawk Air Society (KHAS), a nationally-recognized honor society for AFJROTC cadets. We also expose all cadets to the JROTC Leadership & Academic Bowl (JLAB) as a means of increasing interest in college admissions.
