Grenada High School students have the option to participate in the Naval Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC). One of eleven units in Mississippi, the NJROTC Program strives to teach self-discipline and self-confidence and to instill an ability to lead and motivate. Classroom instruction emphasizes citizenship, basic naval orientation and history, sea power, and seamanship. Classroom academics are augmented throughout the year by drill teams, a running team, community service activities, orientation trips, and other military training. Participation in NJROTC can assist students who are competing for an ROTC Uni- versity scholarship or an appointment to the Naval Academy, Air Force Academy, or West Point and allows entry into the armed forces up to three pay grades higher than other enlistees.

The primary goal of the Grenada High School
staff is to prepare students to be independent,
self-motivated, and able to function effectively
in society. Students receive a varied and solid
base of knowledge to prepare the individual for
employment or additional education experiences.
