Cadet Recognition Ceremony

Georgia Military College Prep School recently honored those students who have distinguished themselves in academics and character. An assembly for the high school was held on October 22, and an assembly for the middle school was held on October 24.

Colonel Fred Van Horn, GMC Executive Vice President spoke to the students at both assemblies and offered inspiring remarks about the words we live by at GMC: Duty, Honor, Country, and Character Above All!

Major Brent Gebel then presented the Character Education Videos for the months of August and September. This is a new project for the prep school and the students have done a fantastic job. Each month will focus on specific virtues and provide filmed examples of character in action.

Colonel John Thornton, GMC Prep Principal, recognized cadets who were present for every class period of every day during Quarter 1, thereby achieving Perfect Attendance.
