Welcome to the Arkansas Military & First Responders Academy
To
the Little Rock Community,
the Little Rock Community,Welcome to the Arkansas Military & First Responders Academy (AMFRA)! As the Commandant of Arkansas’ first military and first responders academy, I am grateful for the opportunity to serve our community in a capacity that directly impacts our most valuable resource, our youth.
As a Little Rock native and Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Marine Corps, I am passionate about serving our great nation and treasured local community. Being a firm believer in the saying, “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” I make a concerted effort to demonstrate my innate concern for my fellow mankind. AMFRA is a school that cares about its faculty and teachers, community, and most importantly, its students. Every child deserves a quality education in a safe environment with teachers and faculty who have a genuine desire to support their students’ character development and academic growth. AMFRA is committed to empowering our students with the resources needed to meet future challenges and embrace opportunities that will propel them to become global leaders of tomorrow.
We look forward to welcoming your 9th/10th grader. Until then, I encourage you to follow us on Facebook to stay up to date on events and the development of the academy. If you have any questions specifically for me, please email me at [email protected]. I am excited to meet you and share more about how AMFRA will ensure your child will succeed in and out of the classroom.
