Graduates from Jefferson High School gathered to inform current students about the journey to military academies such as West Point and the Naval Academy. Hosted by Rep. Riley Moore, who views supporting students' academic aspirations as a rewarding aspect of his role, the event highlighted the rigorous application process, which starts as early as a student's junior year. The panel shared insights into their daily lives within the academies, emphasizing the importance of small class sizes and the lasting bonds formed during their training. This initiative aims to inspire local youth in towns like Charles Town and Ranson to consider service academies as a pathway to success.
