Mission: “To Motivate Young People to be Better Citizens”

The Groves High School JROTC Department consists of LTC David London, First Sergeant Cliff Washington, and Sergeant Major Charles Johnson and is housed in the campus’s “Old Gym.”

JROTC is designed to teach high school students the value of citizenship, leadership, service to the community, personal responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment, while instilling in them self-esteem, teamwork, and self-discipline. Its focus is reflected in its mission statement, “To motivate young people to be better citizens.” It prepares high school students for responsible leadership roles while making them aware of their rights, responsibilities, and privileges as American citizens. The program is a stimulus for promoting graduation from high school, and it provides instruction and rewarding opportunities that will benefit the student, community, and nation

The Six JROTC Core Abilities are:

Build your capacity for life-long learning.

Communicate using verbal, non-verbal, visual, and written techniques.

Take responsibilities for your actions and choices.

Do your share as a good citizen in your school, community, country, and the world.

Treat self and others with respect.

Apply critical thinking techniques.

Thank you, Sergeant Audie Murphy Club!

The Fort Stewart Chapter of the Sergeant Audie Murphy Club sponsored a Class A uniform collection drive throughout the month of January. Altogether they collected nearly 100 full uniforms, 52 male long-sleeved shirts, 55 male short-sleeved shirts, 30 female long-sleeved shirts, 48 female short-sleeved shirts, 33 skirts, along with a number of miscellaneous items such as ties, shoes and hats.

The idea of collecting uniforms for schools came up during a visit to Richmond Hill High School when CSM Bradley, one of the Army Instructors, noted that since the U.S. Army had switched to the new Army Service Uniform, they could use our old green uniforms for the students.

Because Groves High School’s JROTC Department has grown in popularity this year to the point they now have more than 275 cadets (up from 170), one of our Groves parents, First Sgt. Hughes, suggested that Groves High be included in the donation. The club decided to split the delivery between Bradwell Institute, Richmond Hill High School, and Groves High School. On February 21, 2012, members of the Addie Murphy Club delivered Class A uniforms (dress greens) to the Groves High School JROTC for the students that had been unable to receive one previously. This partnership between the military in this area and Groves High School has been a beautiful experience and is truly appreciated.

The Sergeant Audie Murphy Club began at Fort Hood, Texas in early 1986. It consists of elite noncommissioned officers (NCOs) who have demonstrated performance and inherent leadership qualities and abilities characterized by those of Sergeant Audie Murphy, who was a member of the 3rd Infantry Division during World War II.
