Wareham High School's Junior ROTC program was nationally recognized as an "Honor Unit with Distinction," for School Year 2015-2016. The Department of the Army presents this award to JROTC units that maintain an exceptionally high standard of performance, and it is the highest rating a high school Junior ROTC program can achieve.

During the course of a year the Wareham JROTC program participates in a wide variety of competitions, adventure training, and community service projects. The 2015 schedule included the following:

Community Service Events
Among the many community service events were the setup and tear down, and Color Guard during the ALS Cliff Walk in Bourne; the Veterans Day Parade; organization and distribution of food baskets for Thanksgiving; organization of presents in the Wareham Toys-for-Tots program; crowd control for the Onset New Year's Polar Bear Plunge; and participation in the Memorial Day activities.
