Trustees Recognize IISD JROTC
Programs
During the regular
meeting of the IISD Board of Trustees February 1, trustees recognized
the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) Programs hosted at
Irving High School, MacArthur High School, and Nimitz High School.
IISD JROTC units
include: Marine Corps at Irving High, Army at MacArthur, and Navy at
Nimitz. Total JROTC enrollment is 512 high school students. Trustees
also honored the programs at the three schools for their recent
regional, state and national accomplishments.
United States Army
JROTC was established with the National Defense Act of 1916. Under the
provisions of the act, high schools were authorized the loan of federal
military equipment and the assignment of active duty military personnel
as instructors. The Vitalization Act of 1964 opened JROTC to the other
armed services and replaced most of the active duty teachers with armed
services retirees who worked for and were paid by the schools.
