CADET LEADERSHIP EDUCATION PROGRAM

Cadet Leadership Education Program is a public high school that is part of the Breathitt County school district, located in Jackson, KY with about 19 students offering grade levels from 7th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 2 teachers, Cadet Leadership Education Program has a student/teacher ratio of about 9:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The **Cadet Leadership Education Program (CLEP)**, located at 2665 Hwy 30 W in Jackson, Kentucky, is an educational initiative integrated within the Breathitt County school system. Designed as a JROTC (Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps) style program, it focuses on character development, leadership training, and civic responsibility. The program serves high school students by providing a structured environment that emphasizes discipline, physical fitness, and the cultivation of essential life skills such as teamwork, goal setting, and effective communication.

Beyond standard academic coursework, the CLEP offers students opportunities for personal growth through military-influenced leadership instruction and community service projects. By fostering a sense of accountability and pride, the program aims to prepare young men and women for success in their future endeavors, whether they choose to pursue higher education, enter the workforce, or enlist in the military. It serves as a vital resource in the Jackson community for students seeking a rigorous, values-based educational experience.
