"One Hand" Introduction President’s Welcome As the 10th President of the State of New York Maritime College, it is my privilege to welcome you to our nation’s First and Foremost such institution. Steeped in more than 125 years of tradition and a proud history that runs deep and strong, the Maritime College remains a premier institution and a global leader in the field of maritime education and training. We intend to maintain such leadership through a continuing process of strategic improvement of our programs and facilities as well as key engagements and focused outreach to leading industries and academic institutions across a variety of fronts, both nationally and internationally. I can state without reservation that few colleges offer you the combination of such a highly respected academic degree with a strong, hands-on practical component (including Summer Sea Terms onboard our training ship Empire State VI), the opportunity to obtain a Merchant Marine officer’s license, a commission in the armed services if you choose, and the unsurpassed leadership opportunities availavle in the Regiment of Cadets. Indeed few such opportunities in life allow you to grow so rapidly and develop both leadership and technical competencies, which are in high demand in today’s globally integrated and complex environment.

  • La Sierra Military Academy Screaming Eagles Cadet Handbook 2019-2020
    LA SIERRA MILITARY ACADEMY SCREAMING EAGLES CADET HANDBOOK 2019-2020 Revision date: 6.5.19 WELCOME FROM THE PRINCIPAL Dear Parents & Cadets, I would like to take this opportunity to officially welcome new cadets and families. I am thoroughly excited to lead the charge for Honor, Courage and Academic Excellence (Decus, Virtus, Doctus). It is my strong desire to work with the families of LSMA to bring stu- dent success to a new level. La Sierra Military Academy is a charter school under the auspices of the Tula- re County Office of Education and governed by the Tulare County Board of Education. We are proud to be a school of “choice” which means parents and prospective cadets choose to enroll and attend after being reviewed and ac- cepted. What makes us unique is that we offer a traditional core curriculum leading students to develop goals beyond a high school diploma. We have adopted the military philosophy as a basis for self discipline, respect and decorum, but are not affiliated or recruit for the military. La Sierra Military Academy has adopted the Tulare County Office of Educa- tion’s CHARACTER COUNTS! Program and the Six Pillars of Character as the basic framework which defines its school culture. In addition, LSMA instruc- tors and staff embrace CHARACTER COUNTS! The Six Pillars of Character and holds itself accountable to the same standards of behavior as its students. As part of the new vision for La Sierra Military Academy, parents will be ex- pected to actively participate in volunteer opportunities throughout the year. Cadets will also need to re-examine their personal commitment to being en- rolled at LSMA.
