Executive Director of JROTC &
Director of Military Instruction BIOs

We are very proud of our program in Chicago Public Schools. We have the largest JROTC program in the country in number of cadets and total programs. Also, we are unique in offering a myriad of educational opportunities to our students: military academy high schools; military academies within a school; high school JROTC programs; and Middle School Cadet Corps programs. Our focus is to develop our students to their fullest potential for post secondary education and prepare them to be better citizens by utilizing various components of the military model. We accomplish this by delivering meaningful instruction by a professional staff of military instructors and a comprehensive, technology driven curriculum. It is also our intent to socially and personally develop our students through numerous competitive and non-competitive events such as summer camp, leadership camp, sports challenge, orienteering, local and national drill competitions, field trips, and more. This is an exciting program that offers students the opportunity to develop their academic and social skills while making a difference in their school, community, and Chicago.
