The Department of the Navy maintains a co-educational Naval Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (NJROTC) at Paloma Valley High School.  The goal of this course is to help the students develop the self-discipline, self-confidence and leadership skills to successfully meet life's challenges.
 
Activities:  Classroom instruction is augmented throughout the year by community service activities, drill competitions, marching in parades, visits to military activities and other military training.
 
Curriculum:  Emphasizes citizenship and leadership development, as well as our maritime heritage, the significance of sea power and naval topics such as fundamentals of naval operations.  The course is offered in four levels of competency.  Each level completed equals two semesters of elective credit (10 credits per level).  The course may also be applied to the Physical Education requirement if the student has not completed their P.E. requirement.
 
Enrollment in NJROTC does not obligate a student for service in the armed forces.  The Navy provides all uniforms, instructional materials and training aids.
