Congresswoman Johnson Hosts 21st Annual Military Academy Day


Congresswoman Johnson recently hosted her 21st Annual Military Academy Day at Duncanville High School. The program provides high school students with the opportunity to hear from representatives from the armed service academies.

“As a Nation, we must meet the challenges of today and prepare for the future,” said Congresswoman Johnson. “We look to you and future generations to work hard and engage in your communities.  You are our country’s future leaders.”

Beverly D. Johnson, a West Point alumni, and Jae Yu, an Air Force alumni, both offered remarks on life after the academy and how to be the ideal candidate. Five students were honored for their appointment to attend U.S. Service Academies this fall.

Over 200 Dallas area high school students were in attendance, along with Dallas ISD superintendent, Mike Miles, and Duncanville ISD superintendent Dr. Alfred Ray.
