Unsourced info[edit]

The following is unsourced material:

Because the academy was close to the border with the city of Long Beach (a city that completely surrounds Signal Hill), it was often thought that the academy was in Long Beach. The school used Long Beach as its mailing address: 2065 Cherry Avenue, Long Beach, California 90806.
SCMA shared the same year of founding and motto ("Character Before Career") with a totally unrelated prep school in New York, The Stony Brook School.
SCMA was originally a 1st through 12th grade school but eventually became a kindergarten through 9th grade school when it closed.
Many of the students, uniforms and school motto were used in Sylvester Stallone's film "Over the Top." The storyline for the movie had his son attending a military academy. Although a forgettable movie, many of the students had small roles. The film was not shot at the academy however; it was filmed at Pomona College during the summer of 1986.
