Ozark JROTC: Producing Tomorrow's Leaders

JROTC is the United States Army's way to give back to the community. JROTC teaches leadership values to prepare high school students for the challenges they will face in both a military and civilian environment.

Ozark High School's JROTC program provides students with an opportunity to develop leadership skills through classroom instruction, drill meets, marksmanship contests, and our annual summer camp. Student's aren't required to commit to any future military service upon joining JROTC; although JROTC will help those interested in a military career advance.

Our core values, PURPOSE, DIRECTION, and MOTIVATION, prepare JROTC students for the challenges they face now and in the future.

Ozark JROTC Drill Teams to Compete at Nationals

On April 6, 2013, Ozark JROTC drill teams will compete in Louisville, Kentucky at the National Drill Team Competition. The Ozark JROTC team has been very successful this year at their drill competitions throughout the school year, and will compete for a national championship.

Back to Back Air Rifle Champions

Like it did a year ago, Ozark High School's precision team led Shelby County High School after the opening round of the JROTC National Air Rifle Championships. And as they were in 2012 during the final round of competition at the Civilian Marksmanship Program's indoor range, the Army program from Missouri and the Marine Corps program from Kentucky -- whether by coincidence or fate -- happened to shoot from firing lanes Saturday positioned right next to each other.

It was the same scenario. And the same result. Ozark claimed its second straight precision championship, beating Shelby County 4,686 points to 4,665 points.
