About Our JROTC Program

JROTC is designed to teach high school students the value of citizenship, leadership, service to the community, personal responsibility, and sense of accomplishment, while instilling in them self-esteem, teamwork, and self-discipline. Our focus is reflected in our mission statement, "To motivate young people to be better citizens." It prepares high school students for responsible leadership roles while making them aware of their rights, responsibilities, and privileges as American citizens.​ The program is a stepping stone for promoting graduation from high school, and it provides instruction and rewarding opportunities that will benefit the student, community, and nation.

Merritt Island Florida Saturday November 3 2024;

 For the 1st time in three years the Merritt Island JROTC Raider team has qualified 2 of its three teams for attendance at the 6th Brigade (Spartans) Florida State Raider Championships. These hardworking, physically fit and highly motivated Mustangs competed and excelled above the standards in the 5k run, The Rope Bridge, The Sprint Drag Carry, The Cross Country Rescue and the Tire Flip. Raider is the fastest growing Varsity sport and this team is very excited to represent Merritt Island High School at the highest level of state competition. The Merritt Island High School Army JROTC program was constituted at Merritt Island Highs school in 1964 and has been a continuous “Honor Unit with Distinction “since 1969.
