NJROTC (Naval Junior Reserve Officer's Training Corp.)

Port Charlotte High School's NJROTC program has a reputation for excellence. PCHS NJROTC has a Drill Team, Color Guard Team, Rifle Team, Academic Team and a Physical Fitness Team which meets before or after school hours. These teams compete against other NJROTC, Air Force, JROTC, Army JROTC, and Marine Corps NJROTC units in the tri-state area of Alabama , Florida and Georgia . All competitions are held at major colleges/universities with ROTC programs or at a military installation. These teams also compete against all NJROTC units throughout the United States at home postal matches. The practices are normally held two or three days a week after school during the entire school year. This is an equivalent commitment as participating in a varsity sport. Members of these teams are eligible to qualify for additional NJROTC medals and ribbons, including the PCHS letter. The PCHS NJROTC unit has two laudable instructors: Senior Chief Roman Leal, the instructor of our Naval Sciences 1 (freshmen) and 4 (seniors) courses, and Commander John Mcguire, the instructor of our Naval Sciences 2 (sophomores) and 3 (juniors) courses. If you are a student at PCHS, or will be in the future, NJROTC is definatly a fine course to consider.
