MMA 8th Grade Cadets Promoted to High School, May 2024

Congratulations to our 8th-grade cadets who were formally promoted to high school during Final Assembly on Friday, 17 May 2024. We are proud of the hard work and discipline that these cadets have cultivated this year. Beyond the accomplishments of many of their peers in a more traditional school setting, they have succeeded in improving themselves with academic excellence, physical development, military bearing, leadership, and strong character.
