Through a military framework, the school inspires honor and pride within its cadets, cultivating life-long respect, confidence, physical fitness and wellness and appreciation for others. Upon graduation, cadets will have completed the A-G requirements for admission to the Cal-State and University of California systems as well as top pri...
