To be considered for an appointment to a service academy, applicants must be nominated by an authorized nominating source, which includes Members of Congress. This group of students represents some of Maine's best and brightest. They have all demonstrated exceptional leadership, high academic standards, and a passion for helping others, said Pingree. Whatever happens from here, they should all be proud of themselves. We are lucky that they have chosen to offer their talents in service to the country, and it's an honor to nominate them. The nominees were interviewed by a panel of six on their academic record, test scores, leadership ability, involvement in extra-curricular activities, and exemplified commitment to serving their country. Pingree nominated several students to more than one academy.\n\n\tUnited States Naval Academy  \n\tMary Coyne, Yarmouth, Yarmouth High School  \n\tChris deWolf, Falmouth, Falmouth High School  \n\tJulia Ginder, Cape Elizabeth, Cape Elizabeth High School  \n\tAbigail Goodrich, York, Cheverus High School  \n\tNathan Howard, Scarborough, Scarborough High School  \n\tEric Kousky, Brunswick, Brunswick High School  \n\tJoseph Lobley, Waldoboro, Medomak Valley High School  \n\tNoah Seely, Cumberland, Naval Academy Preparatory School, Governor's Academy (prior)  \n\tCatherine Sener, Bath, Morse High School  \n\tKohl Valle, Falmouth, Falmouth High School United States Military Academy  \n\tCatherine Call, Scarborough, Scarborough High School  \n\tJacob Connors, Kennebunk, Kennebunk High School  \n\tHarry Crosby, Cumberland Foreside, Hargrave Military Academy  \n\tGavin Felch, Union, Medomak Valley High School  \n\tAbigail Goodrich, York, Cheverus High School  \n\tEric Kousky, Brunswick, Brunswick High School  \n\tEmily Mitchell, York, University of New England, York High School (prior)  \n\tRyan Mucci, Portland, Falmouth High School  \n\tRoss Poulin, Winslow, Winslow High School  \n\tKeegan Thomas, Standish, Cheverus High School  \n\tKohl Valle, Falmouth, Falmouth High School United States Air Force Academy  \n\tAlex Denis, Topsham, Florida Institute ofTechnology, Mt.
