Services Provided: The Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) offers an outstanding elective course for young men and women attending High School. It emphasizes leadership development, self-discipline, and responsible patriotic citizenship. Students (cadets) are taught confidence, leadership, teamwork, social responsibility and inter-personal relations. Starting SY 2020-2021 we will be implementing a Leadership Academy for all JROTC cadets. The focus of the BCS Leadership Academy is not to train or recruit for military service, but to prepare our cadets for future success in post-secondary education, careers and a life of service to our communities and for them to realize their full potential.
