I have entrusted to you the obligation of upholding the honor of the uniform and all that it represents. The school and community will judge you and your conduct as a Marine Cadet while wearing the uniform. In addition your conduct out of uniform will also be judged because you are a Marine Cadet in and out of the uniform. You shall therefore conduct yourself – at all times, on all occasions, and in all ​ circumstances, in such a manner as to reflect great credit upon yourself, your family, our Cadet Corps, the United States Marines, ITW David Speer Academy, the American people, and this nation. Your every action should be such as to encourage confidence in the uniform and what it represents. You will remember that courageous men and women, not much older than yourself, ​ have died wearing the uniform of the United States Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard. You are accountable for their memory. Be proud of the ​ ​ branch of service you represent, but remember that no branch has a monopoly on courage, honor, dedication, or sacrifice. Above all, use common sense and think before you act. Discipline is best served by common sense.

BACKGROUND – The enactment of Public Law 88­167 and codification in Title 10, U.S.C., Sec ​ 203, authorized the military service secretaries to commission Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) units at secondary schools that meet established criteria. Accordingly, the Secretary of the Navy has authorized the Commandant of the Marine Corps to establish Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officers‟ Training Corps (MCJROTC) units throughout the United States. There are 258 MCJROTC Units at the present time distributed into six (6) Regions. In the ITW David Speer STEM Academy, along with Noble Network of Charter schools, there are MCJROTC Units at Chicago Bulls, Johnson College Prep, Pritzker College Prep, UIC College Prep, and Rowe Clark College Prep. The ITW David Speer STEM Academy MCJROTC Pride Battalion Corps of Cadets unit was established on 21 June, 2015. ITW David Speer STEM Academy MCJROTC Pride Battalion Corps of Cadets’ mission is to build ​ ​ citizens and leaders. Our vision is to build strong moral leaders that are informed, active citizens, instilled with a sense of patriotism and an appreciation for this nation‟s military, by a means of training, education, modeling, physical exercise, discipline, and community service, in order to ensure society receives well­rounded community minded young adults. 1001. OBJECTIVES – The objectives of the MCJROTC are as follows: ​ 1. Develop informed and responsible citizens. 2. Develop leadership skills. 3. Strengthen character. 4. Promote an understanding of the basic elements and requirements for national security. 5. Help form habits of self­discipline. 6. Develop respect for, and an understanding of, the need for a constituted authority in a representative republic society. 7. (Additional ITW objective) To produce efficient problem solvers, innovators, and leaders in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. 6 LEADERSHIP ✭ CITIZENSHIP ​ ​ 1002.

Students may not attend one high school and participate in MCJROTC programs of another high school. (2) Meet health and physical standards. A mandatory Cadet Candidate School attendance and graduation in the summer is required for students to become a member of the ITW Pride Battalion of Cadets. During the CCS the candidates will go through a vigorous physical fitness program, so students that want to join the MCJROTC must be physically fit with a confirmation of a health physical. Cadets must have a current school physical on file in the main office and a copy of the physical in the MCJROTC files. (3) Be in the grade above the eighth grade.

(6) Students may transfer from Army, Air Force, and Navy Junior ROTC units and receive full credit for training accomplished after they graduate the ITW CCS. All students that transfer during the summer must attend the CCS before they are allowed to transfer to the MCJROTC at ITW. Students that transfer in during the regular school year and want to be in the MCJROTC program will have to attend the next schedule summer Cadet Candidate School before they are allowed to enroll in the MCJROTC program. Awards awarded at the prior JROTC program must parallel the MCJROTC awards to be authorized for wear with the MCJROTC program. 1003. “ONE TEAM ONE FIGHT” (ITW David Speer STEM Academy MCJROTC motto) "Never tell people how to do things.

This year, as in each year since the Arts Education Plan was released, the progress report identifies some important gains. Foremost among these is that a higher percentage of CPS schools than ever before, serving a higher share of CPS students than ever before, are meeting the criteria to be rated as Strong or Excelling in the arts. This achievement is particularly encouraging considering the financial challenges the district has faced in recent years. Despite a frequently uncertain and challenging financial climate, and with additional arts gains clearly needed, data reflect that both the district and principals have continued to prioritize arts education in their schools.
