Cadet Corps Leadership Program
For more than 100 years, the St. John’s Cadet Corps Leadership Program has forged young men and women into leaders.
This values-based leadership program is grounded in our Lasallian mission, inspired by tradition, and focused on the importance of leadership and service.
The Four Pillars:
Beyond St. John's
Graduates from the Cadet Corps Leadership Program have a distinct advantage when applying to college, service academies, and reserve officer training corps (ROTC) programs because of the unique nature of the classroom instruction and leadership experience provided in the cross grade–level program.
Cadets learn and practice leadership, making them well-rounded students.

Knowledge and experience are further enhanced through mentorship by experienced faculty, peers, and experts in the field, allowing the time and space necessary to develop each student's leadership journey.
