Origin/meaning
Shoulder Sleeve Insignia: Red and gold (yellow) are the school colors. The Trojan warrior is the school mascot. The shoulder sleeve insignia was approved on 28 June 1996.
Shoulder Loop Insignia: Red and gold are the school colors. The Trojan alludes to the school’s mascot. The fleur-de-lis represents the French heritage of the area, while the musket denotes the military nature of the cadets’ missions. The red wavy bend symbolizes the Mississippi River which runs through Baton Rouge (red stick), the location of the school. The torch represents the knowledge gained through education that will light the way in life for the cadets. The Latin words ‘Doctrina’ and ‘Fidentia’ (Knowledge and Confidence) respectively convey the objectives of the JROTC Program. The shoulder loop insignia authorized 28 June 1996 was cancelled. The new shoulder loop insignia was approved 27 February 2007.
