Warrior Families,

Next week on Thursday, December 12 from 5:00-6:00 pm, we're hosting another ANAPA Town Hall meeting to share updates on the Academy's leadership transition plan. Please join us via Google Meeting or on-site in the Warrior Room upstairs inside the Duffield Gym.

We were overwhelmed by the incredible support and generosity shown this week on GivingTuesday. Our Warrior community came together in one day and raised over $7,000 to help the Academy progress its critical mission.  As a testimonial to ANA's impact on the young men we serve, alumni from the classes of '72, '74, '75, and '84 generously donated their time to share what ANA still means to them today.

From enhancing our athletic and academic programs to improving dormitory spaces and building our Aviation program, you are helping us provide the very best for our Cadets. These upgrades and initiatives would not be possible without your dedication and belief in the Academy.

Look for future updates in the Weekly Warrior on how your investment is being put to work shaping the future of Army and Navy Academy.  Thank you for being a vital part of our journey! Together, we are Warrior Proud! Warrior Strong!

Huge congratulations to Cadets Zavier Leatherman & Nehemiah Brunson Jr. who signed their letters of intent to compete at the next level of academics and athletics. Leatherman signed with the Boise State Broncos to play rugby, and Brunson signed with MSMA-West Point for football. Congratulations gentlemen.  We could not be more proud of you!

ANA Varsity Basketball is now 3-0 with a 50- 35 win over San Pasqual followed by a 55-34 win over Foothills Christian. Check out this highlight dunk by Yanler Ramos. The next game is Friday 12/6 at 7:00 pm @ HOME vs Morse.  Afterward, there will be a reception for ANA alumni to meet the team.  Please reach out to Athletic Director Nehemiah Brunson for more information.  

Our next Saturday school is December 7.  Students are expected to arrive on time and be prepared to complete their assigned tasks. 

Below is the final exam schedule for the week of December 16.  Cadets can depart campus for the winter vacation on December 18 after 3:30 pm.  If you have any questions or need special accommodation, please email Dean Zary or Assistant Dean Ramirez.
