Hey everyone, I'm in California and I'm interested in attending a high school with a military focus. I'm hoping to find a place that'll prepare me well for a military career. What do you suggest?
California offers a variety of top-notch military-focused high schools that can provide you with a strong foundation for a military career. A few notables include:
1. The Military Academy at Roosevelt High School in Fresno. This program encompasses Army JROTC. Upon graduation, students are encouraged to pursue higher education, military careers, or jobs in the workforce.
2. The California Military Institute in Perris, operated by the Perris Union High School District, is an integrated 5-12 grade charter school with a Navy JROTC program, providing the full range of standard high school courses in a military-focused environment.
3. The Oakland Military Institute provides a rigorous college preparatory education. This public school was founded by former Oakland Mayor, and later California Governor, Jerry Brown, who envisioned a military-style academy for Oakland.
4. In Los Angeles, you have the Sylmar Biotech Ammons Army JROTC, which is quite popular.
These schools are just a few examples of the structured, disciplined, and focused learning environments you're after. They emphasize teamwork, leadership, and organization which are key skills for a military career. I recommend contacting the individual programs for more detailed information about their particular goals and curriculum.
