The whole core of what MMA stands for is still there, even after the ups and downs of 130 years. I believe in what they are doing.

Missouri Military Academy (MMA) hosted its annual Boy Scouts of America Merit Badge University March 24-26, 2023. Approximately 300 Scouts, leaders and family members from Missouri, Texas, Iowa, Arkansas and Illinois attended the Great Rivers Council Spring Breakout event at MMA’s Mexico, Missouri campus.
On March 29 each academic year, Missouri Military Academy honors and remembers Colonel Charles R. Stribling III, MMA Class of 1944. Col. Stribling served as an MMA instructor, coach, alumni director, commandant of cadets, vice president and executive officer until, eventually, be became president of the Academy – a position he held for 25 years. Under his guidance, MMA was designated an Exemplary Private School by the U.S. Department of Education.
