Academy a coeducational boarding school and for a short period of time in the early 1850s, the school was purchased and operated by the Perry County Commissioners.

It had been a nonprofit corporation since 1920 and governed by a 15-member Board of Trustees.

Distinction (the highest award a JROTC school can receive) by the Department of the Army.
