Owen Valley High School offers an outstanding and very active Air Force JROTC Program. The AFJROTC Program consists of three components: Aerospace Science (40%), Leadership Education (40%), and Wellness/Physical Fitness (20%).

Leadership Education 200

Communication, Awareness, and Leadership, Second Edition, is a customized course designed to improve communication, enhance awareness of self and others, and provide fundamentals of leadership and followership. The course focuses on the AFJROTC mission to “develop citizens of character.” Woven throughout is the underlying theme of developing personal integrity. The course also emphasizes leadership and values such as service and excellence.

Aerospace 200

This new course provides students with up-to-date information on exploring the fundamentals of the science of flight. It all starts with an introduction to the principles of flight. Students will explore aircraft design, flight control, and aircraft power options. In addition, students explore weather concepts, the effects of flight on the human body, and how to navigate during flight. Finally, students will investigate the safety of flight and possible career options in the aviation industry.

Drill and Ceremonies (AFMAN 36-2203)

This course provides an in-depth introduction to drill and ceremonies. The course concentrates on the elements of military drill, and describes individual and group precision movements, procedures for saluting, drill, ceremonies, reviews, parades, and development of the command voice. Students are provided detailed instruction on ceremonial performances and protocol for civilian and military events and have the opportunity to personally learn drill. Though each class will follow an established lesson plan, most of the work is to be hands-on. Cadets will be able to lead and execute the 30-step drill sequence by the end of their first year.

Wellness/Physical Fitness

The Wellness/Physical Fitness portion will incorporate the Cadet Health and Wellness Program (CHWP). The CHWP is an exercise program focused upon individual base line improvements with the goal of achieving a Presidential Physical Fitness standard calculated with age and gender. The goal of the CHWP is to motivate JROTC cadets to lead active, healthy lifestyles beyond program requirements and into their adult lives. Cadets will be given the opportunity to put into practice the wellness concepts that are taught in Leadership Education.
