The Beavercreek High School Air Force JROTC
The Air Force Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (AFJROTC) is a high
school elective program that teaches leadership and citizenship focused on
character development. Although the AFJROTC program has been around
since 1966, the Beavercreek High School AFJROTC was established in 2018
and is one of the newest programs in Ohio.
In just its’ 7th year, the Beavercreek AFJROTC has quickly become one of the
best programs in the nation! During this short period, our program’s cadets
have contributed over 21,000 hours in community service around the Miami
Valley! Our cadets have also earned numerous military academy nominations
and ROTC scholarships valued at over $7M not to mention 7 of our cadets
receiving flight scholarships valued at over $200K earning their private pilot
licenses! Our Military Drill Team is the #1 in the nation winning the Air Force
Junior ROTC Drill Championships in back-to-back years 2023 and 2024! Our
Academic Team placed 6 th in the nation last year at the 2024 JROTC Joint
Leadership and Academic Bowl in Washington DC as well! Our cadets epitomize
the Air Force Core Values of Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence
in All We Do!
But even with all this, our Beavercreek AFJROTC is a program designed for
high school students simply as a place to belong! The AFJROTC is not a
military recruitment or accession program, nor is its’ success based on how
many cadets join the military. Our mission statement is simply this …
“To develop citizens of character dedicated to serving their community and
nation.”
Beavercreek AFJROTC Patriot 5K Run/Walk
Our Patriot 5K Run/Walk is designed to provide our cadets a Project Based
Learning initiative. As a cadet led organization, our cadets take on all facets of
the planning and execution of the race day event. Funds raised with the event
help offset the costs associated with curriculum-in-action field trips, cadet
enrichment activities, and support for cadet opportunities and scholarships.
