Los Alamos Ranch School

A.J. Connell's goal for his school was to create a place where academic excellence was combined with physical toughening (something between the Boy Scouts and Outward Bound). He actually hired top academics from the Ivy League schools for the first part and the former head of the Boy Scout organization to accomplish the second.
A mark of his success was that every boy who graduated was accepted into the college of his choice.
Imagine Connell's shock when the U.S. Goverment evicted him and everyone else from his school for a "secret project" after he successfully ran the school for 25 years.
