By Tech. Sgt. James A. Rush Academy Spirit staff

Academic, military, athletic and character develop- ment standards are integrated into a 10-month program of study. Students come for robust classes in algebra, geom- etry, plus applications in sciences, engineering and cal- culus. They leave fortified with thoughts, wisdom and insights from studies of military books and novels that imbue them with leadership, the Honor Code, and the remarkable history of America’s Armed Forces. And then most of them head up the hill to the Air Force Academy giving the Cadet Wing something it might otherwise not have much of ... diversity. “The Air Force values diversity and the prep school helps us achieve that with each cadet class up on the hill,” said the school’s commander, Col. Harvey Johnson. Half of his student body comes from minori- ty groups and half of the Academy’s minority cadets come from the prep school. In addition, former enlist- ed men and women hopeful of earning a commission to the Academy comprise 15 percent of the prep school. About 230 students begin the Academy Preparatory School each year. School organization and curriculum mirror the Academy in many aspects as most of the 17- to 22-year-old cadet candidates arrive with the goal of gaining admission to the Cadet Photos by Tom Hunt Wing one year later.
