Parents can call before that time and we can send the street pass in advance if one will be needed.

PARENT INVOLVEMENT Parents and Community Members, We have implemented a new system to help our students know and practice our monthly Lancer Pride Expectations. We have many resources available for our teachers and students to accomplish this. With a combination of monthly info graphics and episodes of The Harbor by Jostens Renaissance we hope that our students will know and practice each monthly expectation. These expectations will help them to be college and career ready!

Dear Granger High School Family and Friends, We are happy to inform you that Granger High was selected to be an Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFJROTC) high school. We have been very fortunate to have been selected as there are only a very few schools nationwide that are allowed to have this. Program. Currently in the state of Utah, there are only 2 others.

AFJROTC programs are highly prized for the benefits they bring to the students, community and schools. ROTC units help build leadership skills, self-confidence, character, citizenship and develop aptitude for community service. Cadets also participate in parades, leadership laboratory activities, civilian air rifle marksmanship programs, drill team competitions, color and honor guards, military balls, and honorary academic groups. Many AFJROTC units complement the curriculum through the cooperation and resources of organizations such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Civil Air Patrol, and the National Endowment for Financial Education.

Community service is a major part of the cadet experience and helps instill a sense of civic pride and citizenship. Projects range from working with national organizations like the March of Dimes, Muscular Dystrophy, the National Red Ribbon Campaign, and Special Olympics to participating in local community projects such as cleaning and refurbishing cemeteries, building parks, and sponsoring Little League baseball teams. In school year 2012-2013, JROTC cadets performed more than 1.56 million hours of community service.

In the course of study, Aerospace science comprises 40 percent of the curriculum, leadership education 40 percent, and health and wellness for life training 20 percent. Classroom study includes the heritage of flight, principles of aircraft flight and navigation, human requirements of flight, development of aerospace power, aerospace vehicles, rocketry, space and technology programs, and the aerospace industry. Students are also introduced to military customs and courtesies, citizenship in the United States, first aid, wellness, health and fitness, basic drill and ceremonies, effective communications, management, human relations, and life after high school. All uniforms and curriculum materials are provided by the Air Force.

AFJROTC cadets who choose to continue their education may receive special consideration for Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps scholarships. Many of these scholarships will pay for two, three, or four years of tuition, books, and fees at numerous universities and colleges and allow cadets to pursue studies in various technical and non-technical majors.

Cadets completing two years of AFJROTC and who continue ROTC in college may waive one term of the AFROTC program. Students completing three years in AFJROTC may receive credit for a full year of college level AFROTC. In addition, cadets electing to enter the military immediately after graduating from high school are eligible to enlist in the services at one to two pay grades higher than other enlistees. Students completing three years in AFJROTC are eligible to enter the Air Force two pay grades higher than other enlistees and are automatically enrolled into the Community College of the Air Force to receive college credit toward their associate college degree.

The program is not a recruiting tool for the military services and those students who participate in AFJROTC do not incur any obligation to the Air Force.
