Every Monday through Friday morning, the Corps of Cadets march to the front of the military headquarters, coming to attention in front of the flag pole. To see Old Glory unfurl in the early morning sunshine against a brilliant blue Texas sky; and MMA’s Corps of Cadets - all at attention dressed in U.S. Marine Corps crisp, clean uniforms; staff and faculty standing erect with right hand over heart or in salute as appropriate…all in unison, in patriotic salute…oh, what a feeling, and what an awesome beginning to each day here at the Academy!

Leadership and character education make military schools unique. Our students learn important skills like teamwork, communication, and self-confidence that prepare them for leadership roles throughout the rest of their lives. Many of our students have gone on to become leaders in business, government, medicine, law, and the military, thanks to the lessons learned here.
