Navy JROTC
Doherty High School Navy Junior Reserve Officer’s Training Corps (Navy JROTC) is unique program that can significantly enhance a high school student's experience and post high school career opportunities. Taking JROTC DOES NOT obligate you to join the military.
The Navy JROTC’s accredited curriculum emphasizes discipline, citizenship and leadership development, as well as our maritime heritage, the significance of sea power, and naval topics such as the fundamentals of naval operations, seamanship, navigation and meteorology. Classroom instruction is augmented throughout the year by extra-curricular activities of community service, academic, athletic armed drill competitions, field meets, visits to colleges or other activities, marksmanship, and physical fitness training.
Navy JROTC acts a stepping stone to achieving the goal of attending a service academy such as the Naval Academy, Air Force Academy or West Point. Doherty Navy JROTC Cadet, Matthias Williams, class of 2018, received an appointment to West Point and the head of Doherty Navy JROTC has 3 nominations to the Naval Academy every year. Receiving a college ROTC scholarship, no matter which branch of service, is significantly enhanced by taking JROTC in high school.
This program is a must take for any student who has a desire to join the military. Upon graduation from boot camp, they will be eligible for advanced promotion up to E3. Normal entry into the military is at the E1 level. This is almost a $400 dollar raise, just for taking JROTC in high school.
If you have any questions regarding taking Navy JROTC, call CAPTAIN Greg Thomas at 719-328-6449 or email him at greg.thomas@d11.org
