Superintendent's Welcome

The Marine Military Academy is dedicated to developing disciplined, morally strong, college ready young men who are prepared for responsible leadership Marine Military Academy graduates have been accepted to the most prestigious universities and colleges around the world, including the United States Service Academies, MIT, University of Manchester (UK), Texas A&M, University of Texas, New York University, University of Mississippi, Tecnologico de Monterrey (MEX), and many more. Many of our graduating cadets received scholarships to assist them in their continued academic pursuits.

The Marine Military Academy prides itself on instilling in our Corps of Cadets the core values that are the foundation of the Marine Corps—honor, courage, and commitment. We take pride in our challenging academics, which range from remedial courses to Advance Placement and Dual Enrollment courses. Marine Military Academy cadets have the opportunity to earn college academic-credits at no additional expense. Our small class sizes allow for individual attention. 

Every cadet is required to participate in an after school activity that promotes physical fitness. Activities range from team and individual sports to our drill team and rifle team. Additionally, physical fitness training is conducted three mornings a week by each of the companies. MMA believes in the “sound body, sound mind” principle.

Additional enrichment opportunities are provided through our aerospace program that allows our cadets the opportunity to earn their pilot’s certification and even higher certifications, our chess club, Interact and Key clubs, our cyberspace team, and our very active Boy Scout troop.

The Marine Military Academy promotes the development of leadership and the individual character traits of responsibility, respect (for others and well as oneself), integrity, and those other attributes that mold young men into contributing members of society.

We are co-located with Harlingen’s airport (HRL), which is serviced by both Southwest and Continental Airlines. I invite you to visit our campus---you will be impressed.

Thank you for considering the Marine Military Academy. I look forward to meeting you and your young man.
