Our Mission

"To Motivate Young People to Become Better Citizens"

Battalion Profile 
JROTC stands for Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps.  Cadets learn important skills, such as leadership, citizenship, teamwork, self-discipline, and self-confidence. We practice year-round for the various competitions taking place throughout the academic school year. Besides competitions, the Bulldog Battalion participates in many school and community-support based activities. 
We always encourage enrollment in the program to Burke's prospective students and newcomers unsure of what JROTC is about.  Please browse our pages and see what the Burke Bulldog Battalion has to offer. ​

JROTC Objectives

• Educate students to succeed in high school and life beyond high school.
• Build teamwork – stress seven values through a simple acronym for leadership: (LDRSHIP) – Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal courage.
• Challenge students to make goals in life, to make a plan to attain those goals, and to provide direction as required so students achieve their goals.
• Provide students with leadership responsibilities and opportunities as members of the class.
• Conduct hands-on interactive learning and most importantly, have fun doing so.
