Senior Information

Senior Slideshow Photos

As part of the Class of 2024 celebration, MMA will prepare a special photo slideshow for seniors to showcase their time at MMA and how much they’ve grown. For reference, see last year's senior slideshow below. 

Please send 3-5 photos of your cadet for the slideshow by Friday, April 19 (Spring Family Weekend). Photos should be sent directly to Creative Marketing Photographer Matt Jackson via email at matt.jackson@missourimilitaryacademy.com. When sending photos, please include your cadet's first and last name in the email.

Please send any or all of the following photos —

  • baby and/or toddler photo

  • favorite childhood photo

  • photo of the first day your cadet arrived at MMA

  • favorite photo from your cadet's days at MMA

Class Rings

If you haven’t already ordered your cadet a class ring, but would like to, please click here to place your order online. Families can make a $100 deposit to secure the ring, but the ring must be paid in full to receive it. For your cadet to receive his class ring by graduation, orders must've been placed by March 15. Orders placed after March 15 will arrive after graduation. 

Class rings are worn by senior cadets and alumni to commemorate and celebrate their friends, memories and achievements in high school. For your senior, this is especially important because the friends he has made have become brothers, and the memories they have made go beyond the classroom and into the moments that transformed them from boys to men. His achievements are far greater than what a traditional student attains, as his achievements are met at a military standard. Learn more about MMA's senior class rings here.

Request Documents & Settle Accounts

Final official transcripts for all seniors will be sent to colleges in early June. You need not request this.

Cadets who are attending an international college may need to order an apostille transcript and diploma. Colleges and universities in Mexico do require an apostille. An apostille is an official legal document from the Missouri Secretary of State's Office that is attached to your final transcript/diploma and certifies it for use in other countries. To order an apostille transcript and diploma and pay the associated fees, complete this form on the Registrar section of our website. All apostille transcript orders will be processed in early June. It can take 4 to 6 weeks to receive an apostille. Please do not wait until August to order.

Cadets who took dual credit college classes with William Woods University must request a transcript directly from WWU. Only their high school credit for the WWU classes is included on their MMA final transcript. Click here for more information about how to request your transcript from William Woods. 

Please be sure to settle your accounts with MMA. Unfortunately, cadets will be unable to participate in the commencement ceremony, receive a diploma or a transcript unless their account is paid in full. 

Personal Belongings & Medication

Your cadet needs to take everything home once he graduates. If you will need to ship his belongings home, cadets must box their own belongings and take them to the Quartermaster with an address and phone number. SOS (our third party shipper) will coordinate with families directly for payment. If shipping internationally, payment must be completed prior to the final billing cycle.

If you are picking your cadet up from campus and taking his personal belongings with you, please plan to pick his things up from Centennial Gymtorium.

All items left at MMA for more than three weeks with no contact or plan will be considered abandoned and will be donated or discarded as appropriate.

If your cadet takes medication at MMA, you must complete the Medication Furlough Form to inform the clinic how you would like your cadet's medication returned to him. 

Medication can be returned via on-campus pickup, self-transport by cadets 18 or older, cadet transport with parent authorization for those under 18, or mail delivery (includes shipping cost).

Unclaimed medication will be destroyed after 30 days.
