In only its third year, the Mountain View High School (MVHS) Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (MCJROTC) program has won the Marine Corps Reserve Association (MCRA) Award for the 2019-2020 school year. The MCRA recognizes the most outstanding MCJROTC unit in each MCJROTC region. There are 268 MCJROTC programs worldwide currently divided among four regions. The Wildcat Battalion has also been designated a Naval Honor School for the second year in a row by the Commanding General of Marine Corps Training and Education Command. Selection for this prestigious award means that the school's Marine Corps JROTC program was in the top 20 percent of all MCJROTC programs.
Our cadets are focused on academics, military proficiency skills, physical fitness, and leadership, as outlined in the course syllabus. Although not required, cadets are encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities: Drill, Color Guard, Air Rifle Marksmanship, Raider Challenge, and Physical Training. Additional events include community service, fundraisers, and orientation trips. The MCJROTC educational experience has a greater impact on cadets when they actively participate in unit activities.
