Navy National Defense Cadet Corps

The Navy National Defense Cadet Corps is a forerunner program for the Navy JROTC. Both programs strive for the same mission to instill ideals of leadership, character, honor, and service. Frisco ISD looks forward to growing the NNDCC program and applying to become a NJROTC unit in the future.  

Program Overview

As part of the program, students will take courses that meet both classroom learning objectives as well as physical fitness goals. Students will be given opportunities to serve their community, become leaders in their class, and participate in area competitions.

The NNDCC program is a program of choice and is housed at Lebanon Trail High School. Students applying for admission to the program in the 2023-2024 school year will be required to attend LTHS as full-time students. Transportation is the responsibility of each student and their family.

Application

To be considered for admission to the NNDCC program, please fill out the admissions application.
