academy graduates

Those who finished

Academy graduates are people who have completed training at an academy—typically a military service academy, police academy, or other specialized institution.

The phrase often appears in contexts emphasizing shared institutional identity or the transition from training to active service: Academy graduates are expected to serve a minimum commitment.

It can also refer to graduates of prestigious prep schools or arts academies.
