Riverside Military Academy Annual President's Report 2021-2022

PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2021-2022 because of you...

We produce leaders of character prepared for success in college and beyond through the provision of a rigorous academic program, leadership opportunities, competitive athletics, extensive co-curricular activities, and the structure and discipline inherent in a preparatory school using the military model of leadership development.

Our Continued Pursuit of Excellence

Greetings, Riverside Family & Friends!

In the last President’s Report, I shared our progress with Strategic Plan 2025. I’m glad to report that we are at 85% completion and continue to make great strides in five areas designed to help students reach their highest potential: Cadet Experience, Culture of Family, Collaborative Environment, Enrollment Management, and Resource Management.

Fueling our team’s continued pursuit of excellence, Board Chairman Brigadier General (Retired) Daniel J. Kaufman, Ph.D. identified the “Field of Dreams” as the end state of the current five-year strategic plan. This initiative, inspired by parent feedback, provides key personnel including a licensed professional counselor and college counselor, plus an operations area with a dedicated communications liaison to ensure timely and consistent messaging, now has proof of concept as evidenced by reduced attrition and increased retention of students and families. Despite rising inflation and the current economy, our families understand that their children are their greatest investment. They routinely express gratitude that Riverside is developing and preparing their cadet(s) for success and a life well-lived.

With the national trends of enrollment challenges facing military schools and independent schools, particularly those who are single gender and boarding, the Academy recently underwent a brand marketing study. The findings affirmed that Riverside’s extraordinary program offerings set us apart from other schools, but even so, our potential families were not finding us in their online search of potential schools. As General Sandy Beaver had done decades earlier, we chose to once again market ourselves as a premier college preparatory boarding school. “Riverside Prep” widens the net to prospective families who may not currently understand the value of a military model of education.

It’s a critical time. Now more than ever our nation needs the kind of young men who are developed and prepared at Riverside. We take pride in being different. Our students learn that hard work reaps rewards; they learn to lead and to follow. In a safe environment, they are encouraged to make mistakes and learn how to overcome them. They are accountable for themselves, but also responsible for others. Riverside is a challenging environment, but our graduates are fully prepared for whatever comes next, and I would add, as the future captains of industry that our nation needs.

I am humbled by the frequent encouragement of parents, alumni, and friends, including these words shared by Ms. Eleanor Burke, mother of a 2021 graduate, “Your new logo and progressive approach will give this fabulous institution new life in an ever-changing global perspective. My son Will is in his second year studying international business at the University of South Carolina. To say that Riverside prepared him for this path, and to live his best life, is an understatement.”

It’s the partnership with engaged parents and alumni, inquisitive nature of our cadets, dedication of faculty & staff, and your investments that inspire our team’s continued pursuit of excellence. Thank you for joining us on this journey!

Very respectfully,

Donor Appreciation and Scholarship Luncheon

In April, just outside the Carlos and Sandra Cervantes Theatre for the Arts, in a room filled with engaged supporters and grateful cadet benefactors, Riverside hosted its first Donor Appreciation and Scholarship Luncheon. The Academy expressed sincere appreciation not only to those in attendance, but also, to all donors who give generously to support cadets through partial scholarships. Donors had the opportunity to meet cadet scholarship recipients while hearing about the impact of their generous support through words shared by a cadet, a parent, an alumnus donor, and the president.

The global pandemic continues to impact enrollment, and many families are still feeling its financial impact. In academic year 2021-2022, 60% of families received some amount of financial aid. On average, Riverside awards $4.5 million annually in discount and need-based tuition assistance, making scholarships one of its greatest and transformational philanthropic needs.

Oftentimes, a small scholarship award between $2,000 and $5,000 can make the difference as to whether a student is able to enroll. These partial scholarships lend a helping hand to both new and returning families and provide a

valuable tool to help increase enrollment and retention.

Through the generosity of donors, more than $2 million was awarded in partial scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 to help deserving young men attend Riverside.

Additionally, the RMA Foundation awarded $357,150 in partial

scholarship awards to assist 83 students in academic years 20202021 and 2021-2022. Not only did this generous support provide need-based tuition assistance for these families to enroll their son(s), it also generated $2.3 million in tuition revenue for the school. For donors attending the annual Sandy Beaver Entrepreneurial Leadership Awards Dinner and those supporting the Foundation through outright gifts to the program, this represents a 6.5 return on investment. Endowed scholarships create a perpetual source of tuition assistance and generate earnings to provide a scholarship award annually, but non-endowed scholarships can also be established to create an immediate source of funds to support our students.

While most scholarships are needbased, donors can also establish scholarships with awards based on merit. Scholarships may be named to honor a family member or someone at Riverside whose influence has made a difference, and many donors choose to simply give donations to the General Scholarship Fund. Even after a scholarship is established, additional contributions will grow the scholarship and its impact. Regardless of the motivation and size, every gift towards scholarships makes a difference and has a direct benefit to our students and enrollment.

For questions about giving to scholarships or establishing a named scholarship, contact Ellen DeFoor, Vice President for Advancement, at edefoor@riversidemilitary.com or 770-538-2924.

Your Tax Dollars at Work for Riverside and Our Cadets

Georgia is one of 21 states nationwide with an education tax credit law allowing taxpayers to redirect some of their state income tax dollars to support private K-12 education. Georgia GOAL contributors are able to “re-direct” some of the state income taxes they must pay anyway in order to instead provide tuition assistance for deserving students to attend Riverside!

Since the program’s inception in 2009, the Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program has provided 725 partial scholarships to Riverside cadets through more than $2.4 million in state tax credits contributed by Georgia taxpayers, both individuals and businesses. Recipients must be Georgia residents whose families qualify.

Participation in this opportunity strengthens the Academy in countless ways, including increased enrollment, financial well-being, continuously improved offerings, and best of all, it costs you nothing.

Through our partner Student Scholarship Organization, Georgia GOAL, Georgia residents are able to contribute funds that will be used to provide financial aid at Riverside, and in exchange, receive a 100% Georgia income tax credit!

In 2022, Georgia’s elected officials expanded the GOAL education tax credit program, raising the annual cap to $120 million and increasing taxpayer contribution limits. Depending on your tax filing status, Georgia residents may contribute any amount up to the limits indicated below in exchange for a 100% state tax credit.

Double Tax Benefit for Pass-Through Business Owners

*Pass-through owners NOT making the HB 149 election may contribute up to $25,000, rather than $10,000. It is possible that the contribution may qualify as an ordinary and necessary business expense, providing both a federal tax deduction and state tax credit.

**Pass-through businesses making the HB 149 election may contribute up to 75% of their entire state income tax liability to GOAL for a 100% state income tax credit and a federal income tax deduction.

A Life Changing Decision

Senior Declan Bethel is one of 38 students at Riverside who benefited from the Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program in 2021-2022 and has received a Georgia GOAL partial scholarship each year he has been enrolled. When asked what the program means to him, Bethel replied,

“During my eighth-grade year, I remember watching Riverside march in the Veteran’s Day Parade, and told my mom that’s where I wanted to go. The Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program has made it possible for me to attend and complete four years at the Academy. It has allowed me to excel, and I would like to say thank you to everybody who has redirected tax credits to Riverside through Georgia GOAL. You have changed my life.”

Applying is Easy!

To apply for the GOAL tax credit, simply scan the QR code or go to goalscholarship.org to complete the 20-second online application process. GOAL will take care of all remaining steps in the process until your contribution is due (within 60 days following approval by the Georgia Department of Revenue).

we are well-rounded because of you...

At Riverside, the rewards are as great as the challenge. Academic studies and duties come first (challenge), but boys also need some down-time to relax and socialize (rewards). Watching movies and playing video games in the dayrooms are a fun way to enjoy down-time, but it is an earned privilege.

Before generous parents and friends came forward, dayrooms in the barracks lacked much to be desired, and in fact, looked like they did when the campus was completely rebuilt in 1998-2000, including outdated furniture and little to no technology.

Ideally, Riverside would have been able to remodel the barracks dayrooms for every company. However, the global pandemic’s economic impact focused significant resources toward financial aid in the form of partial scholarships to help families with demonstrated financial need.

Through the generosity of donors, the Academy had remodeled three barracks dayrooms when Mr. Keith Schneider approached the school about remodeling the Headquarters Dayroom. President Preczewski committed $10,000 from the Academy’s operations budget, if parent donors would contribute the remaining $25,000 to fully fund the remodel. More than 50% of the Headquarters Company parents participated,

including the Wheatley and Vo families who joined the Schneiders with lead gifts to get this project off the ground. The collective contributions of the Headquarters Company families and a few friends achieved the fundraising goal, making it possible to remodel the dayroom. Mr. Schneider thanked and expressed congratulations to all Headquarters Company families and stated...

The new and improved dayrooms offer a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere with modern furnishings like home. Learning about the need and the impact that the remodeled dayrooms have on cadets, a very generous anonymous donor contributed the full amount to fund the Delta Company Dayroom remodel, with a few more families joining in.

Five dayrooms have now been remodeled with a sixth project underway. Remodeled dayrooms include new paint, lighting, electrical, flooring, and wainscoting, along with furnishings and technology such as comfortable seating, high-top tables and chairs, two 70-inch UHD TVs, entertainment consoles, Xbox gaming system with controllers and headphones, counter area for laptop workstations, and microwave.

Interim Commandant Adam Carter is grateful for the generous donor support. He says, “Renovated dayrooms encourage cadets to come out of their rooms and socialize with other cadets during evening and weekend free-time, thus enhancing their experience.”

“This was a team effort, a great success where everyone wins with our cadets at the top of the list!”

Dayrooms received upgrades, bringing cadets some comforts of home

State-of-the-Art Infirmary

Nothing seems more important than being comfortable when you are sick or recovering from injury or surgery. Now imagine how this feeling grows exponentially when you are away from home and your family.

A very generous anonymous donor dramatically improved the quality of care provided in our Infirmary by donating 19 hospital beds plus mattresses. The all-electric beds have the latest technology and replace the previous beds which were only movable through the use of a hand-crank. “I had never seen beds like that before and had no idea how to use them when I came to Riverside three years ago,” explains Lynn Townley, Infirmary Executive Director.

The new beds that are longer to accommodate taller cadets, also include safety rails and the ability to raise and lower the bed at the head and foot, making it possible to place the cadet-patient in a comfortable position and ease his recovery. “Hallelujah,” exclaimed

the nursing staff knowing how much more efficient the beds make their care of Riverside cadets.

Providing knowledgeable staff and an environment that promotes optimal health and wellness of our cadets is a top priority at Riverside. The staff assess, treat, and execute a plan of care for a cadet’s illness or injuries, maintain and dispense all medications, and coordinate all off-campus health appointments.

The Infirmary’s newly enhanced 19-bed facility can house any cadet who needs medical care or extra supervision during illness. The staff includes pharmacy technicians, licensed practical nurses, registered nurses, clerical staff, and one certified family nurse practitioner, all providing care under the guidance of a supervising physician who is on campus three days a week.

“This gift is invaluable to the welfare of our cadets. We are most grateful for the donor’s superb generosity and support of Riverside’s mission to provide for these young men who are entrusted to our care,” said President Staś Preczewski.

Easy and Secure Access

How do you ensure security if you are responsible for hundreds of students and employees needing access, at different times of day, to various buildings on Riverside’s campus?

Chief of Security Bill O’Brien envisioned an improvement plan that utilizes an access control door system and technology to provide enhancements across Riverside’s campus. Thanks to the generosity

of donors Roslyn and Patrick H. Higdon, Jr., ’57, this vision has been implemented on campus.

The system requires an ID card which is scanned at each door to provide access to the area. Each cadet and employee has his or her own access card which allows the Security Department to program access to various areas of campus; egress is always possible. This locking technology is further

we are visionaries because of you...

In 2017, the Higdons saw an opportunity to help provide enhancements to Riverside’s campus infrastructure and made a generous gift to establish the RMA Maintenance Endowment. The annual earnings of this permanent endowment along with the Higdon’s continued generous annual gifts each year are both growing the endowment and accelerating the implementation of campus enhancements.

When asked what motivates their giving, Pat Higdon humbly stated, “I do it because of my love of Riverside. Campus is a big attraction for those who attend and prospective families.”

With deep appreciation, President Preczewski added, “With increasing demands on our operating resources, the Higdon’s philanthropic support of facilities enhancements has a huge impact, allowing us to begin important projects now.”

enhanced by more than 160 live cameras throughout the campus.

The new system allows Riverside to better serve our cadets, employees, vendors, and visitors to campus. O’Brien noted that it provides an overall campus enhancement that generates real-time efficiencies for the Security Office. An automatic notice is received if a door is not closed, eliminating the patrol by Security in search of doors propped open.

Other donors are invited to make contributions to help grow the RMA Maintenance Endowment and increase its impact. For more information, contact Ellen DeFoor, Vice President for Advancement, at 770-538-2924

Roslyn and Patrick H. Higdon, Jr., ’57

Riverside is blessed to impact the lives of young men who become the strong men that are needed in today’s world: men of character, courage, and intelligence who are good husbands, fathers, community leaders, businessmen, and professionals. Mission accomplished.

But one attribute that really stands out is loyalty. Imagine the ultimate honor bestowed onto Riverside when an alumnus gives back to the Academy through every aspect of his life –entrusting his son’s education and well-being, attending every Homecoming and other campus events, encouraging other alumni to stay connected and supportive of the school, hosting recruitment events in his geographical area, volunteering on boards and committees, giving generous private donations to support the philanthropic needs, engaging his entire family in the process, and setting the example that he desires for his son to become for others..

Truly, there is no greater example of Riverside’s mission than the successful achievements of Ruben Barahona, ’89, and his son, Ruben Barahona, ’21. For his many contributions to society and Riverside as a successful husband, father, attorney, member of Board of Visitors, member of Board of Trustees, chair

of the enrollment committee, and generous donor, Barahona, ’89 was recognized at Homecoming as Riverside’s 2022 Distinguished Alumnus Natives of Cozumel, Mexico, Barahona’s parents wanted him to learn English, and in 1985, enrolled him in RMA as a high school sophomore. Realizing the gift his parents had given him, he too realized the greatest investment that he could make in his own son, and in 2015 enrolled him as a seventh grader at Riverside.

As a University of Tampa freshman, Barahona, ’21, returned to address the senior class during Commencement 2022. Standing proudly before his Brothers in Blue, Barahona, ’21 affirmed how his Riverside education prepared him for college, and through mentorship, encouraged them to “Be That Guy” as they graduate Riverside and enter the next chapter of a fulfilling life.

In service of promoting what is needed in the world, it is strong men like the Barahonas, continuing to reveal and achieve their greatest potential in life, that makes Riverside so special!

» Listen now

“Of all the attributes that describe Ruben Barahona, '89 the one that stands out the most is loyalty. His love for Riverside is exemplified through his actions. There is no greater honor than receiving his support.”
