WV-941 Minutemen

Slider is playing

The WV-941 Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps was established at Lewis County High School during 1994, by an agreement between the Lewis County School District and the United States Air Force.

Members of the WV-941 Cadet Corps are referred to as Cadets. The Cadet Corps is managed and operated by Cadet Officers and Non-commissioned Officers. This organizational structure allows cadets to learn leadership skills through direct activities as they progress through the course.

The program strives to provide Cadets with leadership opportunities to make informed decisions and develop the personal confidence and pride needed to avoid negative peer pressures and attain life skills that enhance success after graduation.

Our Mission Statement is to, “Develop citizens of character dedicated to serving their nation and community.” We aim high to do the best for our community as each Cadet in WV-941 earns at least 13.5 hours of community service each year. We provide every Cadet with opportunities to earn hours and experience while serving others. The Corps performs in many different community service details, from presenting The Colors at football games to canned food drives for the citizens of Lewis County and surrounding areas.

In class, we study aerospace, leadership and life skills, Drill, physical training and more. We provide many opportunities outside of class as well, including Drill, Flight Academy, Drones, Robotics, Academic Show Down, Rocketry, as well as field trips. Field trips in the past have included airshows, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and many more.

AFJROTC is the best choice to develop well-rounded students ready to succeed in their futures, regardless of whether that means going to college or a trade school, straight into the workforce, or directly into the military.

WE ARE NOT IN THE MILITARY RECRUITING BUSINESS :)
