Collaborator:  Service Learning Projects, ie., Street Re-naming, Clothes and Goods Drive for Homeless Veterans, Blood Drives, etc.  Must work with organizations across the metro for projects to be successful.

Communicator:  Cadets and Staff must communicate with each other, school staff and administrators, and outside agencies to ensure success for our multiple projects.

Critical Thinker:  Cadets and Staff must develop the ability to think through complex problems with little guidance from the instructors.  This relies heavily on upper classmen to use their experience and knowledge to come up with complex solutions for various projects.

Innovator:  Cadets and Staff come up with ideas for projects and pitch them to the instructors.  Cadets also lead class discussions and deliver presentations on various topics throughout the year.

Civic and Global Contributor:  Various Service Learning Projects that Cadets and Staff participate in throughout the year, impact our school and community directly. This is all based around the JROTC Mission:  "To motivate young people to be better citizens".  Giving back to the community is part of and required in the JROTC curriculum.

Resilient Achiever:  Cadets and Staff are taught from Day 1 to never come to an instructor with a problem without a possible solution.  They are also taught to not quit because they hit a roadblock.  Come up with a plausible solution or work around.  It is instilled in them that nothing worthwhile or meaningful is ever easy.  Whether it is a project or life in general.  We teach them to plan for the worse and hope for the best.

Collaborator: Ensembles, play productions depend on this! Everyone is an important part of the team to make performances work.

Communicator: Communication with each other is critical in ensemble performances. We also communicate ideas, emotions, stories, concepts to the audience. The conductor/director must communicate with the performers. Small ensembles: students learn how to work together, disagree, come up with solutions. In private lessons/instruction, they learn how to take constructive criticism.

Critical Thinker: Interpreting a script or musical score, creative problem solving, adjusting to what the conductor/director and/or other performers are doing or saying, selecting repertoire, setting up, performing in different spaces all require critical thinking.

Innovator: Improvisation, music composition, playwriting, leadership planning, making artistic choices for performances
