The Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps came into being with the passage of the National Defense Act of 1916. The focus of JROTC was on secondary schools. Under the provisions of the 1916 act, high schools were authorized the loan of federal military equipment and the assignment of active or retired military personnel as instructors on the condition that they followed a prescribed course of training.

Salmen's JROTC program started in 1993. Its goal was and is to motivate young people to become better citizens. The JROTC program is a college preparation course that teaches students many character building skills.
