Congressman Steve Stivers (R-OH) announced his nomination of a Sheridan High School student to a United States Military Academy. Stivers nominated Abigail M. Davis, daughter of Joe and Jessica Ball, to the Naval Academy.

“Each year, I have the privilege to nominate outstanding students from the 15th District to the U.S. Military Academies, and this year was no exception,” Stivers said. “As a Brigadier General in the Ohio Army National Guard, I thank Abigail for her willingness to join our nation’s proud tradition of military service. I also would like to thank those who served on this year’s Academy Review Board for their assistance in interviewing the students and providing recommendations.”

In pursuit of a nomination to a service academy, students submit an application and are interviewed by Congressman Stivers’ Military Academy Review Board. The Board evaluates the students on the basis of academic performance, leadership ability and community involvement.

To receive a service academy nomination, candidates must be an unmarried resident of Ohio’s 15th Congressional District, a United States citizen and between the ages of 17 and 23. Qualified persons interested in pursuing a nomination to one of the service academies should visit www.stivers.house.gov for more information, or contact Stivers’ Lancaster Office at (740) 654-2654.
