Marmion Academy in Aurora is going to start admitting girls for the 2026-27 school year. When it partnered with the U.S. government during the Great Depression, it introduced military training, becoming known as Marmion Military Academy. And that’s what prompted James Muetze of Batavia to enroll the youngest of his four daughters as a freshman at Marmion. We’d like to see how things develop for the girls at Marmion to see if it’s a successful program,” Anderson said. “I want to see if they embrace that with the girls,” Anderson said.
