Hello, Warrior Community!

We hope you have been enjoying your Spring Break. The campus is quiet but we still have some news to report.

USMC Battle Color Detachment Performance at ANA

Last week, Army and Navy Academy was honored to host the United States Marine Corps Battle Color Detachment for an unforgettable performance! From the powerful sounds of The Commandant’s Own Drum & Bugle Corps to the flawless precision of the Silent Drill Platoon, our community was in awe of the United States Marine Corps' excellence and tradition.

A huge thank you to the Marines for bringing this incredible display of skill and discipline to our campus—we hope to welcome them back again soon! Watch the highlight video below. It was also posted to our social channels Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn.

Admissions Update

Last month, the Army and Navy Admissions Office wrapped up the spring semester enrollment season. We were pleased to welcome 21 new Cadets to the Warrior family. We now shift our enrollment focus to the fall semester of the 2025-26 academic year. Now would be the perfect time to refer friends and family to the Academy. Any referral resulting in an enrollment is worth a $1000 credit at the bookstore thanks to our Bring-a- Buddy program.

In international news, our Associate Director of International Admission, Victor Traycey, has been attending school fairs abroad and building connections to attract new families. His recent travels include: Berlin, Miami, Malaysia, Japan, Korea, and Vancouver.
