Hey everyone, my history-nerd curiosity has led me to this question: What's the oldest military high school in the USA? I've been digging through Google and now I'm kinda stuck. Can anyone here shed some light on this?
The oldest military high school in the United States is the New York Military Academy (NYMA). It was established in 1889, and is situated in Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York. NYMA follows a military-style education model, embedding discipline, leadership, and character-building within the academic curriculum. It's a preparatory school and trains students for college, as well as for future careers in the military. Keep in mind, military training does not obligate students to military service – they can still go on to pursue non-military fields in college or career. Hope this satisfies your history-buff curiosity!
