Academics
Academic enrichment and achievement is the fundamental corner stone of our NJROTC program. We are first and foremost an academic program, and we strongly believe that success in all other areas of our program begins with a foundation of academic success in all classes. We closely monitor our cadets' academic standing in all of their core classes, providing counseling and tutoring when appropriate to help encourage them to do their very best at all times. We believe that academic success in High School begins with self-discipline and self-control; therefore, these skills are demonstrated, taught, and rewarded from the very first day of each school year.
In order to participate in any of our Unit Teams, or in any of our after-school activities and social events, we expect that our Cadets will have at least a 2.0 GPA and be passing all courses. Additionally they must have a "C" or higher grade in the NJROTC course. Because of this, our program sets a higher bar than most school activities, but we have found that our cadets will consistently rise to the challenge and in the end be better students because of it.
We believe in the use of technology both in and out of the classroom, and we lead the way in our school in the introduction and innovative use of cutting-edge academic technology. We invite you to look at the large amount of internet-based study materials we have created and posted on this website. You can find links to such materials in the Academic Pages section of the navigation bar at the top. The academic materials we have created and placed on the web are used extensively by NJROTC Units world-wide. In each of our classrooms we make daily use of the eInstruction Classroom Performance System (CPS) hardware and software provided to us by the NJROTC Program. We have our own computer lab microcosm in our office spaces where students can study before and after school if access to a computer at home is difficult or impossible. We additionally make extensive use of Google Applications for Education and spear-headed the integration of this system within Green Run High School. This website is one small example of that software.
