Academic Grades: Students should possess a cumulative 2.0 ( C ) grade point average. Those not meeting these criteria may be allowed to enroll on the recommendation of the Senior Marine Instructor (SMI) and Marine Instructor (M.I.) with the approval of the Principal. Enrollment for students with less than a cumulative ( C ) grade point average will be probationary. Probationary students will be required to demonstrate improvement in their grade point average, to pass all courses required for graduation, and to be actively working to achieve a cumulative 2.0 ( C ) average in order to be removed from probationary status. Cadets, that receive a D or below in a marking period report card will be assigned to the Cadet Tutoring Program. Physical Training (P.T.) : Cadets are expected to meet/actively strive to meet Marine Corps weight and personal appearance standards. Cadets will participate in weekly PT sessions, as a means to achieve standards of the National Youth Fitness Program and to pass the USMC Physical Fitness Test. Failure to put forth a sincere effort during PT or wear the prescribed uniform determined by the SMI/MI will adversely affect their weekly PT grade. Military Appearance: Cadets will PROPERLY WEAR their issued MCJROTC uniform on assigned days. During classes they will be INSPECTED and receive a weekly inspection grade. If a cadet is absent it is his/her responsibility to wear the uniform the very next class day in order to receive the weekly gradeinstead of a ZERO. Cadets WILL NOT SAG THEIR TROUSERS Military Service: Participation in this program DOES NOT mean the student is OBLIGATED to serve in the MILITARY. Successful completion of the MCJROTC PROGRAM DOES NOT GUARANTEE acceptance in the U.S. Armed Forces. Participation-Commitment: To gain total benefit from this program the cadet should be an active participant in small unit leadership activities such as Color Guard, Drill Team, Rifle Team, and other activities such as PARADES, COMMUNITY SERVICE and FUND RAISING EVENTS. Participation & Commitment is a clear indication of the cadets development as a leader in this program. We encourage cadets to balance the attainment of good grades with participation with JROTC and school activities. Personal Conduct: Cadets are expected to exhibit exemplary character as ambassadors of this program and Holmes High School. Conduct that RESULTS in suspension or detention reflects poorly on the individual cadet and the Corps of Cadets and will not be CONDONED. Cadets are to be respectful to all faculty and staff members. They will not disobey, ignore, or be disrespectful in language, tone of voice or gesture. No forms of hazing or sexual harassment will be tolerated. Cadets will respect the rights of other cadets.

UNIFORMS: Cadets are inspected in their uniforms every THURSDAY once the uniform has been issued. This meets the program criteria for the uniform to be worn once a week. The cadet is to understand that the uniform on Thursday is to be worn all day. If the cadet is taking a SHOP class then the cadet needs to acquire an apron to be worn over the uniform. If the cadet is absent on that day for what ever reason then the cadet is required to wear his uniform the very next business day, which is Friday so the cadet won t receive a ZERO, which will affect his grade adversely. If the cadet has an appointment he is permitted to wear the uniform off campus to attend the appointment.
