Montello Student Wins Nomination
to U.S. Naval Academy
WASHINGTON -- Congressman Tom Petri reports that he has nominated Montello High School 2006 graduate Jason Alfred Thill for appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, MD. Thill is currently attending Marquette University in Milwaukee.
Petri's nominees are chosen in an annual non-partisan competition, based on their high
school records as judged by a commission of 14 residents of the 6th Congressional District.
Final selections are made by the academies. However, Petri says, "Nomination is a major step
toward being offered an appointment."
