Why “Meriwether”?

The Academy is named after the famed American scientist, philosopher, & explorer, Meriwether Lewis, who’s relentless curiosity and undaunted courage resulted in the great expansion of not only America’s territorial claims but equally our scientific, ecological, and ethnographic understanding of the nation.

Meriwether Academy aspires to invest every man with the same relentless curiosity about life, which when equipped with practical capabilities, leaves him no other option but to succeed on his road ahead.
