Cadet Curriculum

Leadership Education is the name of the MCJROTC curriculum because we use the tenants of Marine Corps leadership to teach and develop a sense of responsibility, loyalty, discipline, and character in cadets.

​

Grading

Cadets of Marine Corps JROTC will be graded in multiple areas of the program. The academic curriculum will be very much like traditional high school classes. In addition, cadets will be observed, evaluated and graded on their leadership performance.  

School Academics

All Marine Corps JROTC cadets are required to maintain a satisfactory grade point average (GPA) in all their school subjects in order to remain in the MCJROTC program. ​

Public Displays of Affection
Conduct, Bearing & Discipline

Cadets will not display any gestures of affection in school or on school grounds. This holds especially true when in uniform and pertains to kissing, embracing, holding hands, or other forms of intimate behavior. Cadets who think they are showing off their maturity by kissing and hugging in public are only displaying a lack of maturity and risking a lower Marine Corps JROTC leadership grade for their conduct.

Cadet Participation

Cadets of the program will participate in a Leadership Education level as dictated by the number of years in the program the cadet has completed. ​
