Cadet Knowledge |
|
As part of the JROTC course, cadets are required to commit to memory certain pieces of information about the United States and military protocol. The information on this page is some of the material that is learned as part of the JROTC curriculum. It is also material that cadets appearing before the Cadet of the Month board are tested over.
The Cadet Creed: the Cadet Creed is recited by every company at the beginning of class. It outlines the behaviors a JROTC cadet should exhibit.

May God grant me strength to always live by this creed.The Seven Army Values (LDRSHIP)
