I have been here for about six year, although the school has changed over that course, it still has some adaptation to do to integrate tech into AP or dual classes. To include the Athletic side lacks some resources to operate as most goes to football.

I graduated from Marine Military Academy May 2022 as valedictorian and I thoroughly Enjoyed my time there. The military regimen that we operated on really helped discipline me and prepare me to organise myself as necessary to succeed in college.

My son attended summer camp in 2022 and had a good experience. He never complained in any letter he sent home. He actually wrote about wanting to attend as a student in the fall for 8th grade. In one letter my son told me that the Drill Instructors are "strict but in a good way."The school year is a...
