Oak Ridge Military Academy (ORMA), founded in 1852, is the nation's oldest military academy. It is a school that is said to build character, confidence, and the students' futures. It is located on Highway 150 at US 68. The above photo was taken recently as cadets were retiring the flag for the day. If you are interested in learning about the academy's history, HERE is a timeline. ORMA tries to ensure that students develop college and life readiness. They have 90 students enrolled in grades 7-12, or about 15 per grade level. When an organization has this much history in Guilford County, it is nice to think that this 100 acre campus will be around for a very long time.
If you are looking for summer opportunities, they do have three: A leadership adventure camp; a high school academic camp; and a middle school academic camp. Call them or check out their website, if you are interested. They may still have room.
Happy Wednesday!
Quite an entrance.
