JROTC

COL (R) Limuel Hunter, Jr. and 1SG (R) Bruce Kowalski are the teachers in charge of Lincoln’s JROTC Program.

The United States Army’s Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps, or JROTC, is designed to teach high school students the value of citizenship, leadership, service to the community, personal responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment, while instilling in them self-esteem, teamwork, and self-discipline.   Its focus is reflected in its mission statement, “To motivate young people to be better citizens.”  JROTC prepares high school students for responsible leadership roles while making them aware of their rights, responsibilities, and privileges as American citizens.   The program is a stimulus for promoting graduation from high school, and it provides instruction and rewarding opportunities that will benefit the student, community and nation.
