“The naval academy appealed to me it included several aspects that were important to me;  leadership, athleticism, and academics …they were challenging years, but they were the best years of my life.” Farrell said.

When Farrell graduated from PRHS, he quickly joined the Navy.

“I didn’t want to go to a normal college…I’m happy I went to the one I did.” said Farrell.

Pilot training is three rigorous years long; Olsen hopes to continue on and commit to seven years or service in the Air Force.

“All the benefits of it {the Air Force} helped me decide on joining.” Horne said.

Senior Matt Horne is attending West Point after high school.  Horne leaves for the East Coast on July 2, where he will major in economics to follow his dreams.

“I wanted the chance to serve my country, and earn an outstanding education, and I saw West Point as the best place to accomplish that goal.” said Horne
