California Cadet Corps

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The California Cadet Corps was originally called the California High School Cadets, created by an act of legislature on April 5, 1911. The then California High School Cadets was designed to prepare young men for service in the United States military. In 1935, the legislature of California changed the name to the California Cadet Corps. Since that time, the California Cadet Corps has expanded to include young women and students in the middle school and elementary grades.

The six objectives of the California Cadet Corps are to develop leadership, citizenship, patriotism, academic excellence, basic military knowledge, and health, wellness, and fitness.
