Homecoming 2026: Celebrating 50 years since 1976!

Feature Photo: Cadet Commander Paul Gant (left) and Major Kenneth Mortenson display trophies earned by the Missouri Military Academy Fusileers during their national championship season. Competing primarily against college-level units at the National Invitation Drill Meet at the University of Illinois, the Fusileers were named the top-rated exhibition and invitational drill platoon and captured the coveted Governor’s Trophy as the best drill team in the nation.

Missouri Military Academy will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Class of 1976 at this year’s Homecoming, Friday, September 25, through Sunday, September 27. Join us as we take a walk down memory lane to the 1975–76 school year and revisit some of the memorable moments — including the Fusileers’ remarkable national triumph — that defined life at MMA.
