The NJ-781 Cadet Corps at Cherry Hill High School West was the first AFJROTC unit activated in the state of New Jersey in the year 1978, explaining our unit designation. The “78” is the last two digits of the year we were established and the “1st” designates the first AFJROTC unit established in New Jersey during the year 1978. Our emblem shows the West colors of purple and white along with West’s mascot, the lion. The lion is soaring over the Air Force wing symbol showing that the West Lion aims high like the U.S. Air Force. As with any program, what you gain from AFJROTC is commensurate with the effort you put into the program. AFJROTC develops attributes in cadets that will benefit them in the future regardless of the future they choose to pursue. We strive to ensure our graduating cadets have developed and possess characteristics such as a positive attitude, self-discipline, motivation, interpersonal and communication skills, creative thinking, leading, organizing, coordinating, positive effectiveness, responsibility and personal accountability.
Unit Activities
Co-Curriculars
Co-Curricular activities (officially termed Leadership Development Requirement activities) are a critical component of a successful AFJROTC unit. These activities are AFJROTC-sponsored and school-approved events conducted outside classroom hours. NJ-781's activities are planned, organized, and executed by the cadet corps and supervised by the SASI or ASI.
The following are co-curricular activities for AY20:
- Color Guard
- Model Rocketry
- Raider Team
- Drill Team
- Academic Team
- Awareness Presentation Team
Community Service
Community service is a top priority in our unit. The school year is filled with opportunities to support our school and local community. AFJROTC cadets log hundreds of community service hours every school year.
Typical community service events are:
- Back-to-school nights
- Freshman orientations
- School concerts
- Food or supply drives
- Veteran cemetery flagging events
- Veterans and Memorial Day events
- Middle School visits
- West Star Games
- Dancing with the Cherry Hill Stars
NJ-781 Group Organization
The NJ-781st is organized as a cadet group consisting of five flights (Alpha to Echo) and two squadrons (operations squadron and operations support squadron). Cadet officers and cadet noncommissioned officers (NCOs) command the group and are charged with the daily administration and discipline of the unit under the supervision of the SASI and ASI. The organizational chart pictured may be a little different than the one in actual use, depending on the needs of the unit during any particular academic year.
