This program offers a four year curriculum. A student may begin this as a Naval Science I Cadet (entry level) at the freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior level. The purpose of the NJROTC program is to instill in high school students the values of citizenship and service to the community; to develop a high degree of personal honor, self-reliance, individual discipline and leadership; to promote an understanding of the basic elements and requirements for national security; to promote habits of orderliness and precision; and to develop respect for constituted authority. NJROTC is open to all students, but to remain in the course, students must meet the weekly uniform wear and personal appearance standards of the U.S. Navy. Uniforms are provided at no expense to the Cadet. It must be professionally maintained and returned at the end of the school year. A fee may be required for uniform accessories and maintenance. Extra-curricular activities that cadets can volunteer to participate in are: Armed Drill Team, Color Guard, Unarmed Drill Team, Air Rifle Team, parades, community service projects, drill competitions, Athletic Team, Academic Team, and field trips. Students who successfully complete two years of NJROTC and enlist in the military will enter the service at a higher pay grade (varies with each service)
