Join the "Long Gray Line"
USMA is renowned as an historic and distinguished military academy, and a leading, progressive institution of higher education. Made legendary in books and movies, the Academy's "Long Gray Line" includes some of our nation's most famous leaders: Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, George S. Patton, Omar Bradley, Douglas MacArthur, Dwight Eisenhower, and Norman Schwarzkopf.
Because of this superb education and leadership experience, West Point graduates historically have been sought for high-level civilian and military leadership positions, including two U.S. Presidents, several ambassadors, state governors, legislators, judges, cabinet members, educators, astronauts, engineers, and corporate executives.
Summer Leaders Seminar
The United States Military Academy conducts the Summer Leaders Seminar (SLS), formerly known as the Invitational Academic Workshop for academically gifted high school juniors going into their senior year. The SLS is a weeklong program of academic workshops, military training, physical fitness training and intramural athletics.
800 highly talented high school juniors going into their senior year are invited to attend the IAW each year. The SLS is normally conducted in the second or third week of June. High school students who participate in the SLS are led and supervised by West Point cadets.
