U.S. Congressman Chuck Edwards (NC-11) today announced that he will be hosting a Military Service Academy Day for North Carolina’s 11th district on Saturday, March 2 at the Henderson County Historic Courthouse, 1 Historic Courthouse Sq., Suite 1, Hendersonville, NC from 2:00-4:00 p.m.
Parents, students and educators in Western North Carolina’s 11th congressional district are invited to join representatives from our nation’s five military service academies to explore the experience, admissions process and expectations of academy life.
High school students will also learn how they can be nominated by Congressman Edwards for a service academy appointment.
Edwards said, “One of my most sacred duties representing the 11th district of North Carolina is selecting nominees for students seeking appointments to our nation’s military service academies. I’m excited that this year, we will be kicking off a Military Service Academy Day for students, parents and educators to learn more about the service academies and the application process. I encourage anyone who is interested in learning how they can advance their academic and professional careers while serving our great nation to join us.”
The event will feature Congressman Edwards and admissions staff from the five military service academies: the United States Air Force Academy, the United States Naval Academy, the United States Military Academy at West Point, the United States Merchant Marine Academy and the United States Coast Guard Academy.
