Are there Military High Schools?

Hey guys, I'm in my junior year and was wondering if the concept of a 'military high school' exists. I've heard mixed reviews on this and I am curious to know if there's any truth to it. If they do exist, what's the process like to get in?

Yes, military high schools do exist! They are generally boarding schools that include a strong military component, including wearing uniforms, participating in military drills, and having a structured daily routine. The goal of these schools is to promote character development and leadership skills along with a regular academic curriculum.

Each military high school has its own admission process, but generally, it involves filling out an application form, submitting school transcripts, and providing teacher recommendations. Some may also require student interviews or entrance exams. As these often are private schools, keep in mind that there may be tuition fees involved, though scholarships are sometimes available to help offset the costs.

Do thorough research to find if a military high school is the right fit for you: Review their curriculum, activities, and values, and see if these align with your personal and academic aspirations. If possible, reach out to current students or graduates to get a sense of their experiences.

Remember, attending a military high school is not at all a requirement for joining the military in the future. If your ultimate aim is a career in the military, it would also be wise to explore other options like JROTC programs at traditional high schools or waiting until college to enter through an ROTC program or a Military Academy. Research and consider all options carefully to make the best decision for your future.
