Female Cadets

"MMA gives you a chance to be a strong leader. Whether you are commanding the corps or falling into a company, your position is important."

-Dana Miksad, Class of 2004

Our program develops young women of character. Building self-confidence and self-esteem through positions of leadership gives our female cadets real-world experience that they will face throughout their lives. All cadets are treated equally, firmly, fairly, and consistently. Our young women are given a tremendous opportunity to grow and develop in a structured coeducational environment.

Safe, Comfortable Living

Female cadets live in the Rosedrey Warehime Dormitory. Built in 1988, the dormitory, which houses 52 girls in double rooms, is fully air conditioned with a separate laundry room, kitchen, and cadet lounge with a television, VCR/DVD & video games, board games, and drink machine. In addition, Warehime has a brand new wireless computer lab open only to female residents.

A mini-gym on the first floor was specially designed for young women with free weights, a universal weight machine, and aerobic equipment, including an elliptical trainer, treadmill, and stationary bike.

The building is monitored by an alarm system, security cameras, and women staff members who live in the dormitory and serve as mentors to the female cadets.

JROTC

The JROTC program is required for all high school cadets. Young women who participate learn important leadership and life skills. JROTC builds self-confidence as their instructors and peers recognize them as leaders.

The program also helps prepare young women who want to pursue higher education at one of the service academies or one of more than 200 other universities that offer ROTC scholarships.

Athletic Competition

All cadets are required to participate in the sports program, which practices or competes four afternoons a week. Being part of an athletic team reinforces the camaraderie that is built in the dormitory and classrooms. Coaches, who are also caring teachers or staff members, mentor cadets in the chosen sport and in other aspects of cadet life. The pride felt and leadership, discipline, and teamwork learned on the playing field aids cadets in improving their academics, self-discipline, and self-esteem.
