Recognizing Achievement & Leadership at PMA

This morning, we had the opportunity to recognize several of our cadets for their outstanding achievements during Summer Encampment and their continued dedication to the Porterville Military Academy Cadet Corps.

We also celebrated an important milestone as several cadets earned promotions into the Cadet Noncommissioned Officer (NCO) ranks, taking on greater responsibilities as leaders and mentors within the Corps.

We are especially proud to recognize the promotion of one cadet to the field-grade rank of Cadet Major—a significant accomplishment that reflects dedication, leadership, responsibility, and continued growth.

These promotions aren't simply about wearing a new rank. They represent the trust, responsibility, and expectations placed upon our cadet leaders.

Congratulations to all of our recognized and newly promoted cadets! Keep setting the example and leading from the front.

Tonight’s Back-to-School Night was a success!

A huge thank you to all the parents, cadets, and family members who attended and helped make the evening special. It was a great opportunity for families to meet teachers, connect with staff, learn about available resources, and get ready for a successful school year.

We also had many helpful resources, snow cones, and fun activities to keep all ages engaged throughout the evening!

We’re looking forward to a fantastic year ahead!

Club Rush

Yesterday at PMA, we concluded WOW (Week of Welcome) with our annual Club Rush! Cadets had the opportunity to explore the many clubs available on campus, sign up for multiple clubs, and discover new interests and activities.

We’re excited to see our cadets get involved, try new things, build connections, and make the most of their PMA experience!

During WOW Week today, our cadets learned about the many opportunities and benefits that come with participating in school athletics! 🏀🏈⚽🏐🏃‍♂️

Cadets also learned about our partnership with Strathmore High School, which provides PMA students with opportunities to participate and compete in a variety of sports.

Playing sports is about more than competition—it helps students develop teamwork, discipline, leadership, resilience, and school pride. We encourage our cadets to get involved, challenge themselves, and take advantage of the opportunities available to them both in and out of the classroom.

Today during WOW (Week of Welcome), our cadets had the opportunity to learn more about the importance of mental health, resiliency, and looking out for one another.

During lunch, cadets were provided with information and resources focused on mental health support, building resiliency, and the “See Something, Say Something” campaign—reinforcing the importance of speaking up when they notice something that may be concerning or when someone may need help.

At PMA, we want our cadets to know that asking for help is a sign of strength and that they are never alone. By building awareness, supporting one another, and knowing where to turn for help.

Stay strong. Stay resilient. Look out for one another.

Today, our cadets participated in “TAP Out,” a fun and engaging activity during lunch, designed to challenge their attention to detail, listening skills, and ability to follow proper commands.

Cadets practiced important military customs and courtesies, including proper saluting, correct hand placement, and responding to commands with precision and confidence. Through focus, discipline, and a little friendly competition, our cadets put their skills to the test while having a great time! The top cadets who lasted won a few prizes.

Another great day of WOW at PMA!

WOW Week at PMA!

This week at PMA, we’re celebrating WOW Week—an opportunity for our cadets to explore, learn, and have fun through hands-on activities during lunch!

Today, some of our cadets took to the skies, flying a UAV and launching a glider model from a catapult, putting science and engineering into action while learning about the physics of flight.

We love seeing our cadets engage in experiences that make learning exciting and memorable!

The PMA family is proud of you, Jonathan! Continue setting the example and leading the way as you begin this next chapter.
