Pedro Perales, class of 1993, writes that he was a student here from 1990 to 1993. I am just amazed to see that the school has grown the way it has.  It brings wonderful memories from the old days back when we were running through the mud in pt or just doing plain old tours for misbehavior.  Which ever moment that I remember is always a good one.  I would love to visit sometime.  Now that I am a successful businessman in my hometown which is Monterrey, Mexico Thanks to the teachings of Wentworth.  it helped me alot... COURAGE, HONOR, VALOR & LOYALTY.  With these teachings you can get far ahead in the world.  My Best Regards, Ex Cadet SGT. Pedro Perales, Charley Company.
