Dayton High School Marine Corps JROTC Summary

Tori J. Ross March 29, 2022 3 min read

Dayton High School is extremely proud of the Marine Core JROTC program. These cadets and instructors do a great job preparing students for life. Principal Geoff McCracken said this about this group: “Our ROTC program helps our student cadets learn personal responsibility, the value of serving others, and how to be a student leader. Our students take pride in their program and work hard to be the best they can be. Our instructors, CWO 3 Tash and 1st Sergeant Matthews are doing an outstanding job leading these young men and women. Our recent ranking of 4th out of 68 schools in the Regional Drill Meet is an example of the work they do. I am very proud that our cadets provide community service at many functions and events in the Dayton-Liberty area.
The following discussions about the purpose of the MCJROTC program and their highlights from the last competitive season:
Marine Corps JROTC is a character building and development course sponsored by the United States Marine Corps, focused on developing self-confidence, discipline, citizenship, leadership skills, and sense of purpose. responsibilities within each cadet.

MCJROTC End of Year Recap 21-22 School Year
The MCJROTC began the year being recognized for the 6th consecutive year as a Naval Honor School. As always, MCJROTC participated in various competitions throughout the school year.
This includes the Joint Leadership Academic Bowl (JLAB). JLAB is an online competition allowing 4 cadets to qualify for the championship organized in Washington, DC. The JLAB has many benefits for cadets who participate, including:
• Improve SAT/ACT scores
• Access to college prep materials
• Increase interest in college admissions

• Strengthen the esprit de corps
• Win the opportunity to travel to our nation’s capital
Over the summer, cadets competed in the CyberSTEM competition where they learned skills in robotics and computer engineering. Two of them received monetary rewards for their work.
MCJROTC also participated in 6 marksmanship matches. Marksmanship consists of shots sanctioned by the Competitive Marksmanship Program. These are 3 position air rifle matches in the sport class.
