Welcome to the Presidential Mentors Academy!
For over 20 years, the Presidential Mentors Academy program has been a place where students find out who they are, become leaders, and experience student success in and outside of the classroom. This program is unique and the only one of its kind in Alabama and the region. The PMA program offers leadership development, mentoring, academic support, and a transformational student experience. The PMA program is an immersive scholarship program designed to attract, recruit, and enroll underserved high school students.
