UPPER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES at Fork Union Military Academy
It was a rainy night to say the least, but it didn’t dampen the spirits of those who attended the Military Ball. Seventy-six couples danced the night away in Vaughn Hall. More Photos-Pg 2
The Greenbrier Parade in April starts off the Spring parade season. Cadet Robert Barnes is honored with the Greenbrier Award, presented to him by his grandfather.
Cadets with zero-demerits were honored at the Renaissance award ceremony and dinner in May. Cadets were treated to a steak dinner served by Admiral Burhoe, COL Williamson and the company TAC Officers. Behind the scenes, COL Fender cooked the steaks, and Commandant Dept. staff served the dinners and desserts. A special dinner fit for our deserving Renaissance cadets.
Cadets seem happy to “give orders� for a change!
On April 23, Cadet Zimu Li and CPT. Gottschalk traveled to St. Louis, Missouri to attend the FIRST Robotics World competition.

Cadet Li was honored by an exclusive luncheon with Dean Kamen, the founder of FIRST Robotics. Li was encouraged with his visit as the new microcomputer was revealed for the 2015-2016 season.
