Our program
Marine Corps JROTC at McKinney High School helps cadets develop leadership skills, build character, and learn self-discipline through the study of Marine Corps leadership traits and principles.
Joining the program carries no obligation of future military service.
The Color Guard is made up of some of the program's best and most outstanding cadets. They represent MHS and the MCJROTC program at school and community events, and they are also part of the MHS MCJROTC Drill Team.
