Home Away from Home Kings Point.... A place where plebes are told was the worst place to be at, but the best place to be from. While the school itself can be extremely challenging, frustrating, and downright infuriating at times, it has provided all those who pass through her gates the valuable asset of friendship and community. This book shows a snapshot of those memories and opportunities the classes of 2015 through 2018 got to experience. It represents another chapter in Kings Point history and all those associated with putting the book together are proud to have been a part of preserving the memories reflected within the following pages.

 Finally Seniors! Ring Dance Held in the grand hall Capitale, located at 130 Bowery in New York City's Litde Italy. Seniors returning from sea joined together to finally dip and wear their long awaited class rings. Having their dates dip these pieces of Academy tradition in waters from the seven seas, the class of 20IS earned a visible piece indicating seniority and passed yet another step that would lead them to graduation. With an open bar and an excellent DJ, Midshipmen were free to let loose and party in the city that never sleeps. EVERYBODY WANG CHUNG TONIGHT, NO R GRETS” - Dan Saldana, Class President 24
