JROTC (Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps) was created in accordance with National Defense Act of 1916 and then to ROTC Vitalization Act of 1964. It is a program with the cooperation of Army and high schools to offer students improve their character education, success, health and wellness, leadership, diversity, geography, civics, and many more, in an environment with more disciplinary measures and rules. It is also an encouragement to the students to be able to explore and get interested in the military.
