Veterans Day is a day of celebration and remembrance for those who have fought for our country. But the young men and women of our local military schools, many of whom aspire to continue the tradition of this holiday by formally serving in uniform, are often overlooked. In a time when most boarding schools are trending down in applications and enrollments, Gainesville’s Riverside Military Academy, a distinguished military boarding school for grades 7-12, has achieved nine straight semesters of increased enrollment and a record-setting number of cadets, which currently sits at 435.
