An invitation has again been issued to Southborough’s high school students (and all of the 5th Congressional District). This month, Congresswoman Katherine Clark is holding a free Service Academy Fair.
It’s appropriate that Clark is hosting. To get in to one of these academies requires a nomination from her, one of our senators or the Vice President.
(So take advantage of the situation and introduce yourself to her! It’s even possible her endorsement will carry a little more weight this year. Our Representative was recently named a Senior Whip for the House.)
Staff from Clark’s office will also be there to answer questions from students about the nomination process.
Military representatives will speak about their academies and be available to answer questions from prospective cadets. Academies participating are:
the U.S. Military Academy- the United States Naval Academy
- the Air Force Academy
- the Merchant Marine Academy
- the Coast Guard Academy
The fair is Saturday, October 10 from 9:00 – 11:00 am.
It will be held at Woburn High School, 88 Montvale Avenue.
If you have any questions, call 781-396-2900.
