JROTC also known as junior reserve officers training corps, is a high school program that is provided as an elective
class, that requires no service obligation during or after school, during the entire school
year. The program that is offered at Killeen High School
is the army branch (AJROTC). Contrary to popular belief this program is NOT to recruit students into the armed forces. Our
only mission in the program is “to motivate young people to become better citizens.”
The program has many things to offer to young adults that are entering their high school career or even for seniors
who are getting ready to leave in to the world.
Extended Goals:
• Promote
citizenship
• Develop leadership
