Today at PMA, our cadets made a choice.

While others were enjoying their weekend, these cadets chose to show up. They chose to train. They chose to become better.

During Drill Academy, cadets worked to sharpen their skills in Drill & Ceremony, marching, proper wear of the uniform, military bearing, guidon bearing, teamwork, and attention to detail.

They came hungry to learn, hungry to improve, and ready to be forged.

Because leadership isn't something you're simply given—it is developed through discipline, commitment, confidence, and the willingness to push yourself when no one is forcing you to.

Every command builds confidence.
Every correction builds discipline.
Every challenge builds a stronger leader.

We are proud of these cadets for sacrificing part of their weekend and investing that time into becoming better teammates, better leaders, and better versions of themselves.

You don't become better by accident. You become better by showing up and putting in the work.

Yesterday, PMA went HOLLYWOOD!

Our ASB chose a Hollywood theme for our school rally, and our cadets showed up in style! Students came dressed as their favorite Hollywood Superstar and brought some red-carpet energy to campus.

The rally was packed with school spirit, fun, and plenty of memorable moments — including a special appearance from the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson! 🕺

Thank you to our ASB, staff, and cadets for making yesterday’s rally one to remember!

Today, our PMA cadets enjoyed a special lunchtime celebration in recognition of Mexican Independence Day!

Cadets had the opportunity to step away from the classroom and enjoy freshly made flour tortillas, Lotería, music, games, and some good lazo techniques.

Activities like these are a great opportunity for our cadets to celebrate culture, build camaraderie, and strengthen the sense of community that makes PMA special.

Thank you to everyone who helped organize, prepare food, run activities, and make today’s celebration possible!

9/11 Remembrance

Today marks 25 years since the September 11, 2001, attacks, a day that forever changed our nation.

This morning, Porterville Military Academy cadets gathered in formation to honor and remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on 9/11, as well as the first responders, service members, and countless Americans whose courage and sacrifice followed.

We were honored to welcome Mr. Gallardo from the Porterville Police Department as our guest speaker, who shared his remarks with our cadets during this morning’s remembrance.

We were also grateful to have members of the Porterville Fire Department in attendance as we paid tribute to the firefighters, law enforcement officers, first responders, and civilians who demonstrated extraordinary courage on September 11, 2001.

Twenty-five years later, we continue to remember.

We will never forget.

Service Academy Information Night

Last night, Porterville Military Academy had the honor of hosting Congressman David Valadao’s Service Academy Night.

Students and families had the opportunity to learn more about our nation’s U.S. Service Academies, the congressional nomination process, and the pathways available to those interested in pursuing a future of leadership and service.

We were especially proud to see two former PMA cadets and graduates in attendance who are now continuing their leadership journey through ROTC at Fresno State. In addition, another PMA alumnus is currently attending the United States Military Academy at West Point!
It was a great turnout, with high school students from the community learning about the application process, requirements, and opportunities available through our nation’s Service Academies.

Seeing our former cadets continue their education, leadership, and service is a proud reminder of where the PMA journey can lead.
