New Riverside Military Academy president: Military model prepares students for life
0630RIVERSIDE5
Retired U.S. Army Col. William Gallagher has been selected by Riverside Military Academy’s Board of Trustees as the school's ninth president. Col. Gallagher has been leading the school since Dr. James H. Benson, a retired U.S. Marine Corps colonel, retired from Riverside at the end of the school year.
Riverside Military Academy is the “finest” in the United States as a private military academy, the school’s new president, retired Army Col. William Gallagher, said Wednesday. That reputation comes from the school’s “360-degree focus” on the “military model,” Gallagher said. “The military model is simply a vehicle,” he said, “to enable (its students) to be accepted into the college of their choice.”
