Leadership Courses

Leadership Education I (LE-I)

 The first year of the program provides cadets with an introduction to both leadership and citizenship. The first year also gives the new cadets exposure to personal growth and responsibility and establishes a foundation of military structure and tradition.​
​

Leadership Education III
​(LE-III)

In LE-III, cadets will begin to use their leadership training as they assume positions of increased authority and responsibility within the program. In this year also, detailed instruction on personal finances is present, as well as other preparation for life beyond high school.

Leadership Education II (LE-II)

The second year continues the leadership and citizenship classes of LE-I. During LE.-II the students receive instruction in General Military Subjects with more structure and tradition than in LE.I, as well as the introduction of civilian marksmanship training and land navigation training with the map and compass. This year also provides additional learning experiences in personal growth and responsibility, as well as citizenship.

Leadership Education IV (LE-IV)

LE-IV is a year when cadets really bring together all their previous learning experiences in the MCJROTC program. Senior cadets will conduct formations and inspections, as well as supervise certain training events with younger cadets. LE-IV cadets continued to be challenged academically with requirements for research projects and independent studies.

Attendance

Cadets are expected to attend all JROTC functions. This includes everything from daily classes to extracurricular activities and special events. Cadets should anticipate, as much as possible, when they will not be able to attend a JROTC requirement in order to let the instructors know in advance. ​

Disenrollment

Cadets may be disenrolled from the MCJROTC Program for the following reasons: 
  • Academic Failure:  You must pass MCJROTC in order to remain a part of it. However, disenrollment is not automatic. Each case is reviewed and handled separately. 
  • Ineptitude:  Students who consistently demonstrate an inability to develop leadership skills may be disenrolled.
  • Poor Attitude​:  Any cadet who consistently displays a poor attitude regarding the MCJROTC program may be disenrolled
