Superintendent's Notes

"A few short months remain before graduation for the Class of 2013. But the day to day life of the Corps of Cadets in Term 2 is an undistracted focus on academic, military and physical development, which will lead to the privilege of becoming an officer in the US Army. The cool, gray days of winter are defined by long hours in academic buildings learning about the laws of physics or the laws of war, competing in hundreds of athletic contests, or marching into Washington Hall for another hearty winter meal. All have optimism that spring is just over Storm King Mountain or just around the bend in the Hudson."
