The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) has partnered with the U.S. Army Cadet Command to start a pilot program for a statewide Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) office.
Teaching wasn’t Doug Henry's first career choice, but after entering the profession, he says it's been rewarding to help so many students find their passions.
Officials with the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) and the U.S. Army Cadet Command presented a three-year initiative that could serve as a national pilot program for the Junior Reserved Officers Training Corps (JROTC) during the July 25 meeting of the legislature’s Interim Joint Committee on Veterans, Military Affairs and Public Protection.
Every time I attend a Close the Deal event, no matter where in the state, I hear the same thing from the adults there. “I wish they had something like this when I was in school.”
JROTC is being recognized as a career pathway for Kentucky students.
