Fort Payne High School

The awards program is for any JROTC cadet who excels. It recognizes high levels of performance, excellence, and achievement. Because the JROTC program recognizes that not all cadets have the same abilities and skills, the Army designed its awards program to recognize as many personal traits as possible in cadets. There are two kinds of awards: unit awards that recognize unit excellence, and individual awards that recognize personal achievement. The Army rewards cadets for extracurricular activities, excellence in competition, contributions to unit goals, and outstanding service. Also, you may receive national recognition from patriotic and civic organizations for outstanding academic and military achievements. To achieve any of these awards, however, you must prepare yourself for success.
