Students at Loyalsock compete with some of the best and brightest from across the nation to gain admission into countless universities as well as our nation's service academies. Senior Adam Fellon received a nomination to the Air Force Academy in Colorado, while senior Nathaniel Rohrer received his to the United States Military Academy at West Point in New York. What is unique to Nate and Adam is that, to receive a nomination, the students had to complete a rigorous application process that started March, 2011. The process involved numerous essays, references, physical fitness tests and multiple committee interviews while maintaining stellar academic, leadership and community service records. Without this congressional nomination, applicants without political affiliation cannot be accepted into a military academy. It is estimated that 30,000 students apply to each academy of which there are four. Of this number, approximately only a thousand students are accepted with a small percentage coming straight out of high school without previous military affiliation. So, it is a great honor and distinction that nominations were given to two Loyalsock students. Our congratulations go out to Adam and Nate for their dedication and success - we wish them the best in the final application process!
