The mission of the JROTC program is “to motivate young people to be better citizens”. In following the mission of the JROTC program, the Eagle Battalion Booster Club’s mission is “to promote the JROTC program and cadets through a positive presence in the community and provide funding for the betterment of the program”. The JROTC program has a proven record of making a substantial difference in the students, the school and the community. The statistics from the U.S. Army Junior ROTC national page indicates that the program, compared to the schools, has a 3.25% increase in attendance, a 10.98% increase in graduation, a less than 1% dropout rate and an increased GPA to almost 3.0 compared to 2.72. The Booster Club has committed to taking the fundraising out of the hands of the cadets, allowing them to be students and focus on their studies. There is currently no direct funding for the JROTC progam, so all support comes from donations and fundraising.
