PASS IN REVIEW!
Marine Military Academy -

COLLEGE READY!
Marine Military Academy -
![What kind of young man belongs at the Marine Military Academy? Acceptance to the Academy is based on a number of factors — prior academic history and curriculum, health history and potential. Because of the nature of this challenging academic setting, the Admissions Committee looks for a young man who has the potential to adapt to our program. He must be physically fit, emotionally strong and capable of meeting the demands of MMA’s tough college prep program.]()
MIND, BODY, SPIRIT!
Marine Military Academy -
![Early morning Colors are an honored tradition observed by MMA Corps of Cadets, staff and faculty. 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!]()
LONGSTANDING TRADITION!
Marine Military Academy -
![MMA’s Academic Department includes 29 full-time faculty members—19 men and 10 women. All faculty members meet or exceed Texas state teacher requirements, and several members of the faculty hold advanced degrees. Drill Instructors are considered adjunct faculty members and work closely with the Academic Department. DIs are all retired Marine chief warrant officers or senior staff noncommissioned officers who live in an apartment in the barracks with their families. The Dean, John D. Butler, has a MBA from University of Texas at Pan Am, a B.S. from Texas A&M University, a M.Ed. in educational administration from the University of Texas at Brownsville, and an Ed.D. in curriculum and instruction from the University of Houston. Dr. Butler joined MMA in 1996 and is a veteran of the U.S. Army.
With the 2011-2012 academic year Environmental Science, Cinematography Arts, and Mandarin IV have been added to MMA’s curriculum to provide high quality, educational choices for our cadets as they prepare for higher education. Of course, the cadets, faculty, and staff continue to be the key to MMA’s ongoing success. As we are all aware, technology and discovery create new knowledge at a near exponential rate. What is found between the covers of a textbook today is likely incomplete or incorrect by the time it reached publication. Marine Military Academy cadets are prepared to deal with this phenomenon successfully because they have developed within themselves the ability to think…problem solve…and convert data into useful information. They do not rely on rote memorization and the recitation of facts to succeed. The Marine Military Academy faculty understands that the material presented, the presentations made, and the assignments collected are merely toolsfor developing those qualities within our cadets required to negotiate a rapidly changing environment and lead those less fortunate in the process. The faculty stand at the front of the class, not as lecturers so often encountered within schools, but as examples of integrity, responsible citizens, and leaders. Cadets are not passive vessels in the classroom but an active and integral part of the educational process. Marine Military Academy cadets take responsibility for themselves and their classmates as they navigate their way to the college of their choice.]()
RIGOROUS ACADEMICS!
Marine Military Academy -
![2011-2012 marks Marine Military Academy Corps of Cadets’ second year of competition in CyberPatriot action following last year’s advancement to national semi-final standing. CyberPatriot is a premier national high school cyber defense competition created to inspire high school students toward careers in cybersecurity or other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines deemed critical to United State’s future. The competition is the ‘brainchild’ of the Air Force Association, and national outreach was made possible by Northrop Grumman, sponsor of the CyberPatriot Program. Students compete in two parallel competitions: Open Division and All Service JROTC/CAP Division. MMA is represented in the All Service JROTC, among 661 other national schools. Every Monday through Friday the MMA CyberPatriots are hard at it, learning the latest ins and outs of Network Management…what types of irregularities and ‘hacking’ techniques to investigate in their quest to identify and eliminate intrusive threats to computer networks and resultant devastation to corporations and human life.]()
ENGAGING PROGRAMS!
Marine Military Academy -
![Efficiency experts, business executives and even Inc. 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.]()
PRIDE AND DIGNITY!
Marine Military Academy -
![Marine Military Academy offers more than just academic classes and military instruction. Cadets are involved in a host of extracurricular and community service activities such as Boy Scouts, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Rotary Interact, Key Club, National Honor Society, a weekly non-sectarian vesper's service, bible study, and tutoring elementary school students through the HOSTS program (Help One Student To Succeed). Weekends may be spent at the Cadet Activities Center watching a movie in the 135-seat movie theater or catching a game on one of the televisions. Cadets can also get a bite to eat at the concession stand or shoot a game of pool. Dances are also held at the Cadet Activities Center and girls (Yes, Girls!) from the local high schools are invited to attend.]()
