The Portrait of a Graduate is designed to tell the world how we, as individuals striving in this learning community, aspire to create the values that have sustained us for over 14 decades of service to America and the world.
All schools want their students to learn and grow. At Randolph-Macon Academy, we work to inspire our graduates to excel among elite competition, chart the tougher path to do the right thing for the right reason, and remain honest and faithful in a world that so often has forsaken these cardinal values.
So much of this experience as a headmaster parallels my early exposure to life on the farm and as a deckhand in the Gulf of Mexico: hard work is its own reward. So is honesty. At R-MA, students live in the company of others with character, striving for improvement – sometimes only incremental progress – day after day, as a life-affirming experience! This is an honorable journey in search of a priceless goal. It is the privilege of a lifetime and the most rewarding work I have ever done.
Our students have the freedom to achieve their dreams in an environment of dignity and respect. This is the minimum standard on our campus. Equipped with the tools and abilities to chart their own future, R-MA molds each student as a peer with the ability to make their own decisions based on hard work and merit. Every year, capable cadets rise to the top, serving as inspiration for younger generations to be impactful members of our community.
Our cadets go on to pursue lives of meaning and success after graduation, because they have been prepared by R-MA for the challenges, even the indignities of life in modern society. When you see that flame flicker into being in a child’s heart and know that for at least this one child, nothing in life will ever be the same – that they now realize for the first time ever: their world can be a joyful and victorious experience if only they have the courage to work hard, prepare, and demonstrate a willingness to hold on and stay the course during the most challenging of times.
Our graduates are changing the world, and this is perhaps the best evidence that Randolph-Macon Academy is achieving her essential mission: to make leaders who will improve humanity!
