Hill Military Academy, Military academy in Portland, United States
The Hill Military Academy operated from a 150-acre campus at Rocky Butte, featuring a four-story main building and a two-story armory for training purposes.
Founded in 1901 by Joseph Wood Hill, the institution participated in the 1925 Supreme Court case Pierce v. Society of Sisters, defending private education rights.
Students at Hill Military Academy combined college preparatory classes with military training, including drills, workshops, and summer camps across Oregon.
The school educated both boarding students and day students until 1959, preparing them through disciplined instruction and decision-making experiences.
The academy established its own flight school in 1927, initially operating at Lewis and Clark airstrip before moving operations to Swan Island Airport.
