Service Academy Night - October 15
Representative Hillary Scholten’s District Office is excited to invite our students to the upcoming Service Academy Night on October 15, from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM at the Gerald R. Ford Museum. This event is a fantastic opportunity for students who are interested in pursuing a career in the military through one of the United States Service Academies.
Representatives from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Air Force Academy, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy will be present to provide information, answer questions, and discuss the application process. This is an invaluable chance for students to learn more about these prestigious institutions and the opportunities they offer.
Now Accepting Service Academy Applications
Congresswoman Scholten is now accepting United States service academy nomination applications. We encourage high school students in our district (MI-03) to apply for these prestigious appointments.
Each year, members of Congress may nominate a limited number of candidates to the U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Military Academy, U.S. Naval Academy, and U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. These nominations are highly competitive, and students must meet strict eligibility requirements to be considered.
The application process involves submitting materials such as academic transcripts, standardized test scores, letters of recommendation, and essay questions. The deadline to submit a completed application to our office is November 1, 2024. Please visit Congresswoman Scholten's website for more information on the process and to access the application packet. Please share this information with your students and their families and encourage those interested to attend the Service Academy Night to learn more. Feel free to print and post the attached flyer at your school. If have any questions or need additional details about the event or the nomination process, please do not hesitate to reach out. You may contact me by email at Bradley.Stek@mail.house.gov or by phone at 616-451-8383.

Attendance
The county-wide Strive for 5 is still our goal for every student. Students with excessive chargeable absences will not be allowed to attend dances and/or other extracurricular activities. Please refer to the Student handbook for more information as to which kind of absences count against them. Students over 5 minutes late to class other than their first hour are considered absent. The rest of our attendance policy can be found in our student handbook.
If your student is going to be absent, late, or needs to leave early, please call the attendance line at 616-784-2400 Ext. 2 or you can email at hsattendance@khps.org. Please call ahead if your student needs to leave early. It is important to have limited interruptions into the classroom. Please call in the morning and leave a message if needed, so a pass can be written. Students
may not leave class without permission from the office.

TRANSPORTATION BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL CAREOur Personal Mastery educational experience has redefined education and has gained attention around the state and nation. Personal Mastery provides your child with personalized attention from teachers. Instead of teaching to a broad group of students without an understanding of their individual strengths and weaknesses, Personal Mastery allows teachers to interact with students individually or in small groups to help them better address their weaknesses. In this way, we strive to help your child reach their full potential.
