Earl L. Vandermeulen Students Receive Congressional Nominations

The Port Jefferson School District is proud to announce that Earl L. Vandermeulen High School students Paul Cavanagh and Nicholas Heide have received service academy congressional nominations from New York State Congressman Timothy Bishop. In order to attend a service academy, a candidate must receive this nomination.

In a congratulatory letter that both students received, Congressman Bishop wrote, “Your military leadership potential is evident, and you have consistently shown that you are a dedicated and responsible individual who is deeply committed to serving our country.”

On Dec. 15, the two students and their families attended a luncheon for nominees at the Coram Fire Department, hosted by Congressman Bishop and his staff. Paul received a nomination to the U.S Merchant Marine Academy and Nicholas received a nomination to the U.S. Air Force Academy.
