Forest Park High – Army JROTC 1

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

This course introduces students to the foundations of the Army JROTC program, the rights and responsibilities of U.S. citizenship, the principle components of leadership, and the foundational elements needed for academic and career success. Additionally, students receive instruction in U.S. and military history, discipline, personal wellness, physical fitness, career education, and workplace readiness skills. Military customs and courtesies, proper uniform wear and personal appearance guidelines are established and reinforced in the classroom, drill, and military ceremonies. Students electing to use JROTC 1 in 9th grade as a substitution for their physical education graduation requirement must enroll in the full-year health course in tenth grade. The health course will include ninth and tenth grade health, CPR, and Family Life Education. Inperson courses will include Driver Education; however, if a school does not have the minimum enrollment to support an in-person health course, students will be enrolled in a virtual course.
