Coming to Honor Academy was one of the most exciting times in my life. I grew up in a rural community on a cattle ranch in Montana. Needless to say, making the step to come 2,000 miles south to a place were I would not know anyone was a leap of faith. After arriving at [...]

The two years I spent at the Honor Academy were a very integral part of my growth as a young man and follower of Jesus. I reflect on my time at the Honor Academy often and am consistently overwhelmed with positive emotions and fond memories made during this particular season of my life. I am [...]
To say that my intern year at the Honor Academy didn’t affect my life as it is today would be a huge understatement; the leadership and discipline skills that I have learned in one year have helped me excel in everything I have been doing in my life. Even though one year at the HA [...]
