Me it was being promoted to Battalion commander for the 2019-2020 school year it was the final achievement I felt that I have accomplished for the four years I been at the academy
3.) What might you have done differently during your boarding school experience?
What I will say I wish I could change was my first year even though this will be your first year at a military academy and it could be overwhelming take my word for it everyone has been in your shoes before and felt the same as you and if anyone ask who told you that when your their at the academy tell the cadet Houston told you.

The friendly faces staff and faculty that pushed and helped me and never gave up on me to get me to the point I’m at today.

Academics:

1.) Describe the academics at your school - what did you like most about it?
Academic so academic I believe is set up on a block schedule so you will have 4 classes a day. The most I liked about the academics is that every teacher can and will help you with anything your having trouble with it’s like the staff their it’s set up that’s you can’t fell. There is no possible way you could fail, that’s what I like about the academic and the mandatory study time period.

Athletic part of the academy I feel like it’s like other sports in school but one thing that is special about southern prep academy when it comes to sports and that is the brotherhood the bond we have we come together to play as a team so yea I can say the brotherhood is what I like most about the sports aspects

What I like about Band my first year was that it was fun it was a class that we learn about music even if this is you first time or been playing for years it’s a great class to come get a feel of music.

Extracurricular Opportunities:

1.) Describe the extracurriculars offered at your school - what did you like most about it?
The activity that I liked when it comes to opportunity which there is allotted, but the one that stuck out to me and put me on the track to look in the future was Beta club it offered we to have a chance to look at colleges and start my plans with my life with just being a sophomore in High school.
