NJROTC Facts
Naval Junior Reserve Officers’
Training Corps (NJROTC) program is a cooperative effort on the part of the
United States Navy and the Pinellas County Schools to provide high school
students opportunities for total development. The NJROTC learning experience
is intended to be useful to students in any future career, military or
civilian. Satisfactory completion of the program (a minimum of two credits)
can also lead to advance placement credit in Senior NROTC or advanced pay
grade in the military. Cadets incur no military obligation b participation in
NJROTC. Completion of four years of NJROTC will allow the student cadet to
substitute for the Practical Arts graduation requirement. Completion of three
years of NJROTC will allow the student cadet to substitute for one year of
the science graduation requirement. NJROTC is a partner with the Traditional
Program at Dunedin High. Uniforms, books, and training aids are furnished at
no cost to the student. Some of the desired learning outcomes for NJROTC are
as follows:
 Appreciation of the ethical values and principles that
underlie good citizenship which include integrity, responsibility, and
respect for constituted authority
Development of leadership potential with the ability to
live and work cooperatively with others
Ability to think logically and to communicate effectively
both orally and in writing
Appreciation of the importance of physical fitness in
maintaining good health
Develop self-discipline and pride
Perform basic
military skills which will be beneficial to the cadet and of value to the
nation
