This is a group of exceptional young men and women who will exemplify strong values, leadership, and scholarship as they represent our community and our state. I wish each of them success as they seek acceptance to a U.S. Service Academy.”Next, the students will seek to meet the admission requirements of their service academy, where the academy will make the final decision on admission in the early months of 2017.
