Welcome to Lejeune High School MCJROTC Website

Welcome to Lejeune High School Marine Corps JROTC Brick Fundraiser. To better understand the needs of this organization, we will explain how much funding it takes annually to support our cadets. Here are some examples; on average, it takes approximately $10,000 a year to fund the extracurricular activities that make JROTC what it is today. Examples of events are; rifle matches that cost about $150.00 each, summer camps that can cost up to $300.00 per cadet, annual Mess night which costs roughly $2300 for the cadet Corps, annual Marine Corps Birthday Ball that costs up $2500.00, Raider Meet in Daytona Beach, Florida which costs approximately $3500.00; these are just a few activities that the brick fundraiser will support.

As you might not know the unit was a product of the military budget cuts a few years ago and with that comes the problem of finding ways to make the financial means to keep the program as active as it has always been. The LHS MC JROTC does multiple things besides just everyday work in a class room. There are multiple different teams the cadets are a part of; Rifle team, Pt Team, Raider Team, Cyber Patriot Team, Orienteering Team, and Color Guard. With those teams come traveling and competitions, which turns in to a need for money.

These teams in an integral part of JROTC and teach the lessons that are most valuable. Another venue where JROTC has excelled is in service to the community of Eastern North Carolina. For the past 4 years, JROTC has received the Presidential Volunteer Service Award as a Unit and each year approximately 50 Cadets receive the individual award. As a unit they average 7500 hours of community service yearly for the past 10 years.

With the school being renovated and the ongoing construction, the brick fundraiser would be another enhancement. This fundraiser would not only help raise funds for the LHS JROTC program, but would be a way for the students, alumni, faculty, family and friends to become a permanent fixture on the campus.

Our goal is to place a custom brick anywhere and everywhere that we are allowed on campus so that the students and faculty of today and tomorrow can leave their personal mark on Lejeune High School forever. Once a Devilpup, Always a Devilpup!
