Terlingua student accepted into Naval Academy
Congratulations to Nicholas Ryan Hajek of Big Bend High School in Terlingua: The Naval Academy Admissions Board has selected Nicholas to attend the Naval Academy Preparatory School (NAPS) at Newport, Rhode Island in the class convening July 2014.
Attendance at NAPS is a great opportunity. Successful completion of the NAPS program, along with the recommendation of the Commanding Officer of NAPS and the Naval Academy Admissions Board, assures his selection to the Naval Academy Class of 2019.
Hajek has been accepted to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida, and the University of Texas at Arlington.
Hajek is waiting to hear back from his top choice, the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado.
The motto of the Air Force school is, “The Air Force’s Academy; Producing lieutenants for our Air Force and Leaders for our Nation.”
Congressman Pete Gallego secured Hajek a necessary Congressional Nomination.
Nicholas is a senior at Big Bend High School and will graduate May 30, 2014. He is the son of Ryan and Patricia Hajek.
