Giving Tuesday: Hayes Activity Center Upgrade Campaign
As we enter the season of giving, we invite our MMA community to help transform one of the more meaningful spaces in our cadets’ lives: the Hayes Activity Center (HAC).
The HAC is where cadets unwind, build friendships, and enjoy their well-earned downtime. While it remains a beloved spot, the space is dated and in need of significant upgrades. Our goal is to reimagine it as a modern, energizing, and fun environment that reflects the spirit of today’s corps of cadets.
Campaign Overview
The HAC Upgrade Fundraiser will running through the end of December.
All donations made during this period go directly into improvements that benefit our cadets.

Your support will help create a place where every cadet feels excited to relax, recharge, and connect. Throughout the campaign, we will offer incentives, stretch-goal rewards, and special experiences for the corps as milestones are reached.
Will you help us transform the Hayes Activity Center?

You know your child can do more but is not getting the attention needed in their current environment to reach their full potential. We know that choosing the right school for your child can be difficult because each child is so unique. We believe students should experience school as it should be, a place where children are educated in an environment that leads them to thrive and encourages their maximum potential.
