Academics is a team where cadets focus on academic excellence and compete in events like JLAB. Members study subjects such as U.S. history, current events, core school subjects, and even pop culture. We focus on enhancing the academic knowledge, study skills, competition readiness, teamwork, and critical thinking of cadets outside the regular JROTC classroom instruction. Cadets become confident in their public speaking skills and are encouraged to lead and prepare for college, careers, and military service. They get to mentally challenge themselves and become well-rounded leaders who are informed and prepared for the future.
