President's Message
Over more than 140 years, we have called nearly ten different campuses home, merged with two other schools, transitioned from an all‑boys institution to coeducation, and continuously reimagined our programs and facilities. Through each evolution, our commitment to the Academy’s values has continued to inspire us forward.
