Growing up local we all knew of Lyman Ward Military Academy. Our girlfriends swooned over the sharply uniformed cadets at the theater on Friday nights. Best to go on Saturday night! Or perhaps it was our parents telling us they were looking into it! All of my local buddies will understand that. Well friends, I finally made it. My dad would be so proud! Everyday I go to the beautiful campus of The Southern Preparatory Academy. It s not at all the place I pictured when dad threatened. As a man, it is a place I wish I had experienced in my youth. As a father, it is a place I wish my son could have experienced. The keys to success exist in this place; delivered by some of the finest people I ve ever known. I consider my part of this mission a privilege and I wish EVERY American male had the opportunity to experience Southern Prep.
