Education

Completes academy
John Gray Fitch has returned home after completing the 10th grade at Chamberlain-Hunt Christian Military Academy. Chamberlain-Hunt is located in Port Gibson about 35 miles from Vicksburg. It was established in 1879. It is one of the very few academies left in the U.S. that self-consciously maintains its distinctive Christian character and military discipline. Chamberlain-Hunt is not a mandatory school or a boot camp, it is an academy like any other, with grades 6-12. Many cadets have gone on from there to be doctors, lawyers, senators and even generals in the military. Every year Chamberlain-Hunt’s senior class has at least one student accepted to West Point Military Academy. John Gray’s parents are so very proud of him and glad to have him home after completing this great learning experience.
