GENERAL’S GREETINGS I greet you shortly after the departure of R-MA’s 130th graduating class -- what a wonderful group of young people! Their achievements over the past few weeks are stunning. This class is our fifteenth consecutive graduating group with 100% college acceptance, and they are going to some of the finest institutions in the world. In total, these 59 seniors and Falcon Scholars amassed $16.6M in competitively-awarded merit scholarships - our highest total ever - with five members of the class earning scholarships exceeding $1M each. In addition, 16 students earned 20 appointments to U.S. Service Academies. Watch them celebrate at RMA.edu, and be sure to turn up the sound! This type of performance is fueled by the hard work of our faculty, staff, and students, supported by committed families (our Parents Association has been incredibly helpful this year!). In a world where there is sometimes too little to be encouraged about, Yellow Jackets are finding a great path forward, building on the heritage so many of you helped to forge. They are growing in faith, stature, and knowledge. They are swimming against the tide of world events in a culture of mutual respect and common purpose -- to make leaders who will improve humanity! It is a privilege to be here with them, watching that timeless light take hold in the minds of young people we are certain will change the world for the better!
