Posted on Jun 27 2004
With a total of 84 cadets and four instructors, three schools—Marianas High School, Kagman High School and Saipan Southern High School—joined together at the Marianas High School Campus for the 6th Annual JROTC Summer Leadership Course.
The course is a two-week event, which began on Monday, June 21, and ends on July 2. The course was first introduced to Marianas High School in 1999 and has developed throughout its subsequent summers. Instructors from each school are responsible for the cadet’s participation in the event.
Cadets who enroll into the course must have a 3.0 GPA or above with the intention of joining the JROTC program the following school year.
The purpose of this course is to prepare the cadets for possible future leadership positions in the JROTC program as well as other leadership positions outside of the program. Cadets are to be trained with emphasis on leadership skills, positions, values, principles, drill and ceremony, and physical training; they will also be trained on counseling, JUMS and service learning.
On the second to the last day of the Summer Leadership Course, the cadets will be given a written examination covering all subjects covered in the entire two weeks of training. On the final day, there will be a graduation ceremony for all the cadets who successfully finish the course. The cadets will then march in the Liberation Day parade as one unit and selected cadets will perform in the armed and unarmed exhibition drill teams.
