Magazine have touted the U.S. Marine Corps as one of the best examples of organizational leadership in the country. The heritage and ideals of the Marine Corps are passed on to the Cadets at the Marine Military Academy by a staff of former Marines who live their lives by these principles. Honor, courage and commitment are but three core values the staff and faculty preach to the young Cadets at MMA. The military setting eliminates distractions, improves personal accountability and enables Cadets to establish and focus on their future goals. The Marine Corps JROTC program develops informed citizens, strengthens character by teaching discipline and develops an understanding of the responsibilities of citizenship.
