DUNMORE, PA — High school students and their families are invited to attend an information session about military service academies from 5 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 30, at Dunmore Junior Senior High School, 300 West Warren Street, Dunmore, PA.

U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwright (D, 8) is offering this free event to familiarize students with the application and nomination process for applying to the academies.

Local educators are also invited.

“Each year, my office has the honor of nominating Northeastern Pennsylvania’s best and brightest students who possess a strong desire to serve their country,” said Cartwright. He said students will be able to talk with representatives from the academies—including the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, The U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, The Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, and the Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, NY—about “the rigorous academic and leadership training that these academies have to offer.”

Attendees can also meet with Cartwright’s staff. For more information or to RSVP, call Tammy Aita at 570-341-1050 or email TammyAita@Mail.House.Gov.
