The mission of the Army Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) program is to motivate young people to be better citizens. At Pearland High School, the JROTC is designated as an Honor Unit with Distinction. JROTC provides a quality citizenship, character and leadership development program while fostering partnerships with communities and educational institutions. The Drill Team, Rifle Team, Color Guard and the Raider Team are JROTC-sponsored extracurricular activities open to all cadets. PHS cadets also have the opportunity to attend JROTC Summer Camp. There is no obligation for JROTC cadets to enter the military.
