Joplin JROTC 100th Anniversary
The Joplin High School JROTC program—potentially the oldest continuous program in the U.S.—celebrates its 100th anniversary on March 30 with a parade, open house, and formal banquet. Founded in 1919, the program has shaped generations of cadets through leadership, discipline, and community service. The celebration invites the public to honor a century of impact on Joplin’s youth and civic life.
