U.S. Rep. Patrick Meehan, R-7, announced the nomination of 27 area high school students for admission into one of the United States’ uniformed service academies.
Local students include Kathryn Hughes, from Unionville High School, who was nominated for the Air Force Academy and Graceanna Werner and Hannah Shiflet of Kennett High School who were nominated for the U.S. Military Academy. Werner was also nominated for the Air Force Academy and the Merchant Marine Academy.
The nomination from Rep. Meehan does not guarantee admission to a service academy. The academies’ respective admissions boards decide who is offered appointment, and ultimately admitted. Some students were nominated to multiple academies based on their qualifications and desire to attend.
