About the WPPCLINYC
The mission of the West Point Parents Club of Long Island – NYC is to uphold the values and traditions of the United States Military Academy at West Point by fostering fellowship, understanding, and steadfast support among cadets, families, graduates, and friends within our Long Island and New York City community.
We are committed to strengthening the connection between the Academy and our local community, guiding prospective cadet candidates and their families, and cultivating enduring pride and engagement in West Point.
Together, we honor its principles, reinforce its bonds, and inspire the next generation of leaders.
