Congratulations to Patrick Mackey Jr., MacArthur High School. He has been nominated to the U.S. Air Force Academy by Fourth District U.S. Rep. Tom Cole. Mackey will be considered for a full appointment, which will be announced later. The congressional nomination process for these academies is highly competitive, according to a press release from Cole’s office. Applicants are evaluated for academic performance and standing, including class rank, SAT/ACT scores, and school records. Other criteria considered by Cole and the recommendation panel includes athletics, physical fitness, extracurricular activities, recommendations, and leadership potential. Upon congressional nomination, students become eligible for consideration to receive an appointment to the service academy (or academies) to which they applied.

Earlier this week, our FFA students attended Stand & Deliver in Elgin. This workshop is designed to teach students how to write and prepare a speech. #WeAreLPS #LawtonPS #OklaEd #LawtonFFA
