\u00a0Welcome to the Panther Battalion<\/h1>\n

\u00a0Our Mission – “Motivate young people to become better citizens.”<\/span><\/h3>\n

Successful completion of the JROTC program goes even deeper than our mission statement. \u00a0JROTC provides Cadets with skills, \u00a0experience and self-confidence that you will draw upon for the rest of your life. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Our Philosophy – “JROTC is a service to our nation.”<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n

JROTC provides Cadets the motivation and skills to improve physical fitness; remain drug free; think critically and creatively; communicate effectively; work as a team member; graduate from high school; pursue meaningful careers especially in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM); and become successful citizens. \u00a0JROTC works to instill in students in secondary educational institutions, the values of citizenship, service to the community and the United States, personal responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment. It incorporates 21st Century learning, supportive of school-wide expectations for learning results promotes healthy lifestyles, develops leadership, strengthens\u00a0positive self-motivation and enhances global awareness to include providing a historical perspective of military service.<\/p>\n

Our Creed – “I am an Army Junior ROTC Cadet.”<\/span><\/h3>\n

I am an Army Junior ROTC Cadet.<\/p>\n

I will always conduct myself to bring credit to my family, country, school and the Corps of \u2028Cadets.<\/p>\n

I am loyal and patriotic.<\/p>\n

I am the future of the United States of America.<\/p>\n

I do not lie, cheat or steal and will always be accountable for my actions and deeds.<\/p>\n

I will always practice good citizenship and patriotism.<\/p>\n

I will work hard to improve my mind and strengthen my body.<\/p>\n

I will seek the mantle of leadership and stand prepared to uphold the Constitution and the American way of life.<\/p>\n

\u2028May God grant me the strength to always live by this creed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our Cadets – “Trained to Standard.”<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

Cadets in the Panther Battalion come from all grade levels at Westwood. \u00a0We believe in setting and maintaining high standards for personal conduct, uniform wear and the Cadet Creed above. \u00a0In addition to basic \u00a0skills such as drill and ceremony (marching), marksmanship and intensive leadership training, Cadets also receive training in self-development, government, citizenship, geography, map reading, financial management, interpersonal skills and communication. \u00a0At the completion of the JROTC program, our Cadets are armed with the skills, capabilities and values that will lead them to success in whatever career path they choose.<\/p>\n

Motivation<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cThere is always a light at the end of the tunnel\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you feel like quitting, think about why you started\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your Dreams\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re not where you think you should be at this particular place. It has nothing to do with the system, but it has everything to do with the fact that you\u2019re not making the sacrifice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTough Times Don\u2019t Last\u2026Tough People Do!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNever say never because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you want to succeed as much as you want to breathe, that\u2019s when you will be successful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYour attitude determines your direction\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery day may not be a good, but there is something good in every day\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
