Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Southern California Military Academy (SCMA) was one of the estimated 50 private military academies established between the World Wars along the West Coast of the United States. Many of these schools, including SCMA, were well-respected and desirable with rigorous curricula and a path to future leadership positions within the US military. While the US military took over many of these academies during World War II and then sold the campuses after that war, SCMA remained as a school until 1987.[1]
The local hallmark of SCMA was its World War I field artillery pieces displayed on Cherry Avenue, overlooking the Port of Long Beach.
