OVERVIEW

The School was originally known as West Texas Military Academy, at which General Douglas MacArthur was the first valedictorian. In 1926, the school was renamed to Texas Military Institute and in 1972 the school opened its doors to female students; the military program became optional in 1974.

Today the school is known as TMI – The Episcopal School of Texas and is located in the Texas Hill Country. TMI educates students in grades 6-12 and offers a complete college-preparatory program including honors and Advanced Placement courses, as well as competitive athletic program.
