When my son Ben graduated from WRA in 2025, I felt so grateful for the rich experience he got. It gave me a profound appreciation for my own experience (Class of 1984) and the bond we share.

It's an excellent education. It might not be a good fit for every kid, but for those that it is, a WRA education is a good preparation for life, regardless of college.

I not only received a great education but the connection I made with several faculty members opened doors at the college I wanted to attend. Had I not gotten a scholarship to Reserve, I would never been able to reach the goals I had and have the kind of life I was able to have. Reserve changed my life.

My years at Reserve opened my eyes to all that is possible for the child of immigrants living in a small town in West Virginia. Reserve taught me to be curious and compassionate. It also taught me the moral duty to help others when we are the products of an elite education.

Hudson, Ohio was home to me for some eight years. For two of those years I was a day-student at the Academy. I've treasured both the friends I met and the education I received there. WRA played an integral part of launching me on my life's many journeys.

Reserve was a special place when I was there nearly 40 years ago - it shaped me into the person I am today. The teachers, faculty, and staff were so vital to our learning and growth, and all the class activities made WRA truly a special place. And now to get to watch Mason, our son, grow and learn with these same values makes it even more special. Thank you and Go PIOs!

The current Reserve is not special for me. The Reserve of 1960-64 is and was a special experience and place where the character they helped develop/mold still resonates today. I attend reunions to visit with my surviving classmates who are still special to me. However, I did send a son to Reserve who graduated in 2010.
