Military Military 1929 The Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps UROTQ of the Fulton County Schools is one of the oldest such organizations in the United States. In 1928 a JROTC unit was established at Russell High School, 12 years after the National Defense Act of 1916 was passed by the United States Congress. The JROTC program has been an important adjunct to the curriculum offered at Russell High School. The program has received the support of parents, teachers, and the respective administrations. The mayors and other officials of the communities concerned have not only attended ceremonies, but have periodically requested the services of the JROTC cadets for various public functions. The Russell High School JROTC has had a fine record of achievement. Students have gone to institutions of higher learning on military scholarships, earning degrees andyor commissions in the military services. This is a tribute not only to the JROTC instructors and cadets of the past, but to the Fulton County Board of Education and school principals, whose cooperation and support have made the program an Hinstitution within Russell High School.
