Parents should complete this form if they are interested in this leadership opportunity for their children.  

Our NJROTC program is a part of the MCPS Career and Technical Education program and students who complete three years in NJROTC will earn their high school completer for graduation.  

Students that are selected to participate will earn high school credit while in middle school.  Participation will involve students enrolling in and attending Naval Science 1 at Paint Branch High School during their first period in the 2026-2027 school year.

Note: We understand that middle school students are still developing in maturity, responsibility, and discipline. Your honest feedback will help us support your child’s growth and success in NJROTC.
