Our students have been accepted to the nation’s finest colleges and universities including Ivy League schools like Princeton, Harvard and Yale; the South’s best like Duke, Washington and Lee, Vanderbilt, and Tulane; powerhouses like the Universities of Chicago, New York, Stanford, and Southern California and our own Carnegie Doctoral Research university,
Lamar University.

Academy students are expected to cultivate their leadership abilities by investing a portion of their out-of-class/study time in volunteer organizations, community service, and in activities and programs sponsored by the Academy. The ultimate aim of the program is simple: to cultivate the intellectual and ethical virtues of our state and nation's
future leaders.
