ATTENTION NEXT YEAR'S SENIORS INTERESTED IN JOINING NJROTC!

If you have ever thought about joining NJROTC but don't sign up for it because you don't want to join a freshman/sophomore level class, you don't have to be enrolled in a freshman/sophomore level Naval Science class as a senior. If you are interested in NJROTC and have a 2.5 GPA, you can enroll directly into a Naval Science III or IV class. You can talk to Master Chief Melonas or your guidance counselor about adding NJROTC to your schedule for next year!
