A McCracken County High School student will be furthering his education at the United States Military Academy at West Point.

"Acceptance to a United States Service Academy is a big deal, and a clear demonstration of how hard Reese has worked to get this point," Congressman Comer said. "I'm confident he will be an outstanding cadet at West Point, and Reese should be commended by all of us for his willingness to serve his country."
