It teaches self-discipline, increases confidence levels, and gives cadets the opportunity to sharpen communication skills, citizenship, leadership potential, self-esteem, and physical fitness. JROTC also promotes graduation from high school and develops a solid foundation for career expansion. JROTC cadets are a group of high school students, destined for success.

Our Mission

The mission of the Cobra Battalion is to provide the cadets a learning environment that is safe, academically challenging and will prepare them for success in the workforce during the 21st Century, through the use of a rigorous curriculum and technology. Additionally, the Cobra Battalion prepares high school students (cadets) to not only do well in school but to build a foundation for adulthood by applying practical scenarios.

Boyd H. Anderson Army JROTC is the oldest Army JROTC program in Broward County, Florida. Our program is managed by cadets, under the guidance of qualified retired Army instructors.
