Junior Reserve Officer’s Training Corps has been popular at Howard County Schools for a long time and students see many benefits in the program.
Atholton High School houses the Army JROTC. Recently, student Jack Thaxton shared his thoughts about what JROTC means to him. He described it t like “a family. If you’re low or down, you can talk to anybody about anything, no matter your gender or background. It’s a home away from home.”
Thaxton says his favorite aspect of JROTC is that “there’s something always new to learn each day. You can come in thinking one thing, and then learn something else.”
The program made sure students got tutoring help and could offer tutoring help to others, too.Thaxton has exceeded more than 200 service hours and especially enjoyed the senior center prom, where he liked talking to senior citizens and learning about their life and experiences. He has enjoyed being a part of the drill team and feels he has the confidence to succeed as an actor, singer and dancer in musical theater at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City.
