Military Service and Academy Day coming to Sparkman High

HUNTSVILLE — The annual Military Service and Academy Day is coming to Sparkman High next Saturday and its host is a Senators alum.

The event, hosted by U.S. Rep. Dale Strong, is for for students who want to learn more about attending one of the United States military academies after high school.

“The desire of young men and women to willingly serve in our nation’s Armed Forces embodies the very essence of American greatness,” said Strong, a 1988 graduate of Sparkman High. It is my honor to nominate incredible student leaders across North Alabama to attend our prestigious U.S. service academies.

“I want to ensure each student interested in defending our great nation in uniform is aware of the many avenues to military service.”

The Service and Academy Day is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the gymnasium. There will be representatives from West Point, the Naval Academy, Air Force Academy, Coast Guard Academy, and the Merchant Marine Academy.

They will be joined by recruiters with the Marines, Army, Navy, Air Force/Space Force, and the Coast Guard.

There will also be representatives from college ROTC programs.
