MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
I am honored, humbled, and excited to serve as the president of Army and Navy Academy. Our extraordinary Cadets and dedicated staff and faculty collaborate every day to achieve human excellence. It is our mission to enable every Cadet to attain the academic achievements, athletic victories, and personal growth that will propel them to success in college and life far beyond.
Cadets at this century-old institution are part of something bigger than themselves. They learn how to fit in and stand out by forging healthy, team-focused relationships, a process that refines who they are and who they want to become. With the support of their peers and the peerless staff that we have assembled, Cadets can step out of their comfort zone to explore their fullest potential in morally and ethically leading others.
We have a proven model for success, but we never rest on our laurels. Every day, we innovate to provide Cadets with the competitive edge that has always defined our graduates. This world needs virtuous young men of high moral character to lead coming generations, who value and respect those around them, and who selflessly make a positive and lasting difference in all they do.
We are building those young men, one day at a time.
Warrior Proud, Warrior Strong!
Major General Peggy C. Combs, USA (Ret)
President, Army and Navy Academy
