San Marcos Academy has a strong military connection which dates back to the World War I era, when the school was granted a Junior ROTC unit.

The Academy requires all American upper school boys to participate in the Junior ROTC program during their first semester of attendance.

Other than this requirement, participation in Junior ROTC is voluntary for both boys and girls. The San Marcos Academy Junior ROTC program is affiliated with the United States Army and is designated as an Honor Unit with Distinction.
