APA Staffing Update: We wanted to provide our 29th St. families an update regarding a change of leadership at the Pre-Academy and Academy. Director Miller will be leaving APA at the end of this month to pursue a new leadership opportunity within a virtual learning environment. We are all very appreciative of his leadership contributions over the past 6 years and thankful for his support in helping us navigate the new graduation requirements that begin with the Class of 2029. We wish him all the best on his new journey! We are excited to announce that Capt. Henry will be moving into the 29th St. principal role to replace Director Miller. Capt. Henry is an enthusiastic leader who already has established a strong relationship with staff, families, and cadets through his previous teaching and leadership positions, and we are all looking forward to working with him and your families during this transition. He will be sending out an introductory letter as well as back-to-school information very soon. Congratulations, Capt. Henry! #AllSystemsCheck #MakeYourDreamsTakeFlight
