w ith the advancement of time, all as- pects of life changes. In 1900, Georgia Military Academy was founded by Colonel John Charles Woodward as a military school for young men. Since that time the small boys school has grown into a prominent, flourishing co-educational academy. There have been many physical changes at the Academy; however, the focus on maintaining high academic standards still remains as constant as it was in 1900. In 1932, Colonel Woodward turned over ownership of Georgia Military Academy by deeding it to a self-perpetuating Board of Govenors. Today GMA Woodward Academy has an all-time record enroll- ment of over 1700 students. Regardless of the number of students, one thing that has remained constant for 84 years is the Academy motto: Every Opportunity for Every Stu- dent. This will be the standard banner of the Academy as it begins its next 84 years of excellence. 1.
