The credo of Missouri Military Academy is the guiding principle for the selection of inductees into the Alumni Hall of Fame. A strong commitment to duty, honor, and achievement must be exemplified by each selectee for induction. The Hall of Fame is divided into five categories: business, entrepreneurship and leadership; arts and sciences; athletics; community and government service; and distinguished military service. For specific criteria for each category, see descriptions below.
