Fishburne Military Academy welcomes local student

Classes began this week at Fishburne Military Academy located in Waynesboro and, while most of the 120 students board at the school and are from as close as Virginia or as far away as states across the nation, some are local.

One local student who began classes on Tuesday is William Saxman, son of Del. Chris Saxman (R-20th House) and his wife, Michele. The school's newsletter made the announcement:

Another local Virginian with us this fall is William Saxman, son of Delegate Christopher B. Saxman and his wife Michele of Staunton, VA. Cadet Saxman was also with us for Summer School and his parents have decided to enroll William for the school year. He will be in formation for the first time on Tuesday morning. Delegate Saxman delivered the Summer School Commencement Address for a crowd of two-hundred parents, family members and FMS staff.

Del. Saxman, a former school teacher, has been a leading voice in school choice throughout the years.
