The Michigan Military Academy, also known as M.M.A., was an all-boys military prep school in Orchard Lake Village, Oakland County, Michigan. It was founded in 1877 by J. Sumner Rogers[2] and closed in 1908 due to bankruptcy. Some journalists have referred to the school as the Second West Point.[3] The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 as the Orchard Lake Schools Historic District.[1]
