South Effingham High

2022 Distinguished Unit!

The South Effingham NJROTC Program goes beyond the classroom and provides all students an opportunity to not only become involved in the school, but also become involved in the community.

The 2022-23 Unit is 140 Cadets strong and is looking forward to maintaining it's standing as a Distinguished Unit with Academic Honors for the 6th year in a row.

The Cadets spend thousands of hours preparing for and competing in four different extracurricular activities which include Drill, Air Rifle (Marksmanship), Orienteering, and Academics. The hard work and dedication pays off....

Last year the Cadets finished 1st in Sporter Rifle, 2nd in Drill, 3rd in Academics and 10th in Orienteering  at the State Level Area-12 Championship. At the Navy National Meets, the Rifle team finished 4th, Academic Team 5th and Drill Team 13th. The Rifle Team went on to the "All Service" Championship for all JROTC's in the nation and finished 8th. The Cadets also performed more than 2000 hours of community and school service.
