Interesting interaction this afternoon with the instructors from our JROTC units across the RUSD District. I was most surprised to find that we have the oldest (1916) JROTC High School unit in the country with Poly High School. We have a diversity of services represented with the Army at Poly, Air Force at Arlington, Marines at Ramona, and Navy at King. Each program has in excess of 100 students with Poly taking the prize at 142 students.
There is an emphasis on academic preparation and preparedness as well as the normal military topics that one would expect. Based on the flexibility of the PE waiver, there are 400 minutes (or more) of physical activity being guaranteed every 2 weeks along with supporting PE curriculum regarding health and nutrition. The JROTC is a great program that is assisting our students and our country. We should be pleased and thankful for this fine option for our students.
