Area students nominated for service academies
The service academies include the U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Military Academy, and U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. “Furthering one’s education at our nation’s service academies is remarkable. These students have shown exemplary performance in the classroom and in their extracurricular activities. The selection process for the academies is extremely competitive,” Shelby said.
The following North Alabama area students have been nominated: Faith Sanders-Walker, daughter of Mathew and Angela Walker of New Market, and a student at Buckhorn High School, has been nominated to the United States Merchant Marine Academy.
Jacob Economy, son of Anas and Pandora Economy of Owens Cross Roads, and a student at Huntsville High School, has been nominated to the U.S. Military Academy.
