JHS Students interested in on of our Military Academies: See this information about an upcoming admissions briefing for West Point being held at UCO This is a reminder to RSVP to the United States Military Academy Admissions Brief. A unique opportunity to delve into the world of West Point. RSVP to reserve your place for what will be a great opportunity to learn more about the Academy, whether it is the right fit, and how to apply. We strongly encourage you to invite your students and post the attached flyers at your schools. Event Details: Date: 23 February 2024 Time: 5:30 to 7:00PM Location: The Will Rogers Room on the top floor of the Nigh University Center, Room 421, 100 N University Drive, Edmond, OK 73034 RSVP: https://apply.westpoint.edu/register/?id=60e677d4-2014-437b-b9ba-37c108f9b0ce During the Admissions Brief, we will discuss: What West Point Offers: Learn why West Point stands as a premier institution for leadership development, academic excellence, and character growth. Life as a Cadet: Gain firsthand insights into the daily life of a West Point Cadet, including academics, athletics, and leadership training. The Application Process: Understand the steps to apply to West Point and gather valuable tips to enhance your application. The West Point admissions team will also be joined by The University of Central Oklahoma Broncho Battalion to discuss ROTC opportunities for those interested in pursuing this path. Please find attached the invitation with detailed information on the event. Space is limited, so be sure to secure your spot at the event and RSVP no later than 20 February 2024. I have also attached a link to the West Point Summer Leaders Experience (SLE), a week-long immersion into the academic, military, and social life of a West Point cadet. At SLE, you will explore West Point from all angles, including our high-tech educational facilities, team-building athletic activities, and realistic military training. An SLE application doubles as the first step of a West Point application (Candidate Questionnaire); however, please keep in mind that completing an SLE application is not an obligation to complete a West Point application or attend West Point, but it will keep the option open during your college search. For any inquiries or further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at admissionssw@westpoint.edu. We eagerly anticipate welcoming you and your families to an evening filled with inspiration and information!

🏀UPDATE🏀 Girls JV will not play tonight. Boys JV will start at 5:00, Girls Varsity at 6:15, and Boys Varsity at 7:30.
