MCJROTC

Welcome to the West View High School Marine Corps JROTC!

The Marine Corps JROTC program has a standard curriculum that includes a variety of academic subjects in the following areas: Leadership, Citizenship, Personal Growth and Responsibility, Public Service, and Career Exploration. In addition to the standard Marine Corps JROTC classes, the program includes distinguished guest speakers, significant outdoor training and physical fitness and lastly and most importantly, living the values of the Marine Corps daily. Cadets are taught military drill and proper wear of the Marine Corps uniform.

Moreover, community-service projects, field trips, competitions, and physical-fitness challenges provide opportunities for leadership and teamwork development, all of which look great on applications for jobs, scholarships, and college admission.

Each cadet is issued – free of charge – all utility and service uniform items, books, and curriculum materials.  

Participation in MCJROTC does not obligate any cadet to join any branch of the military... ever. We are a citizenship program, not a recruiting program.

Honor, Courage, Commitment

These are our core values that we instill in our cadets. They play directly into our mission statement: To instill a value of citizenship, service the United States, personal responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment. Essentially, to build our next generation of leaders in our nation.

Semper Fidelis

Semper Fidelis is a Latin phrase that means "always faithful" or "always loyal". In the United States it is best known as the motto of the United States Marine Corps.
