Securing America's future through understanding and honoring our past.

About Us

We strive to help the next generation develop an awareness of their own histories and ties to the founding of our nation. We aim to impart a greater understanding of America's foundational documents and historical figures. In doing so, we hope to imbue youth with a greater understanding and appreciation of the principals of freedoms and justice rooted in America, and the subsequent struggle to perfect those ideas, to foster good citizens and leaders.

"Training tomorrow's leaders to serve our country and preserve our nation's history. We honor those who came before us and paved the way for what we have today."
