This year, the yearbook staff thought long and hard trying l find the perfect theme for our book. We finally came up wit "118 years to get it right". We have put a lot of hard work in the yearbook, trying to make everything relate to the theme This year we came up with an introduction to the theme, sc will now (finally) be understood. The theme is what puts th whole book together. Notice how on the cover we have 118 written out with the corps. Also, the mixture of old picures and new pictures shows the years between then and now. You will notice things that relate to the theme throughout U book.

junior rote-the army's service to america

Junior ROTC is an elective high school course taught by military personnel at selected private and public high schools in the United States and its territories. It is also taught abroad through the Department of Defense Dependents School System, which primarily serves the dependents of military personnel stationed overseas.

At Howe Military School, cadets in grades nine through twelve must take JROTC. Cadets learn a variety of subjects through one program. Some of these subjects include Leadership, Communication, and improving Learning Skills. We also offer additional activities for the cadet outside of the classroom. Some of the activities offered in the JROTC program include Rifle Team, Drill Team, Raiders and a Master's Program.
