0

Joshua Trimmer, a junior at Washington High School, has been selected to be among 1,000 attendees at West Point’s prestigious Summer Leaders Experience (SLE) in June.

More than 5,000 juniors nationwide applied to SLE, which offers outstanding high school juniors the opportunity to experience life at West Point. SLE attendees live in the cadet barracks (dormitories), eat in the Cadet Mess, and participate in academic, leadership, athletic and military workshops.

The one-week seminars are designed to help juniors with their college selection process while giving them an idea of the importance of leadership and sound decision-making in their education, careers and lives in general.

All SLE attendees participate in virtual reality war simulation and military and physical fitness training, and in addition, each student selects three of the 15 offered workshops.

The United States Military Academy at West Point is a four-year, co-educational, federally-funded undergraduate college located 50 miles north of New York City. A preeminent leader-development institution, West Point was founded in 1802 as America’s first college of engineering.

Since then, West Point has grown in size and stature, but remains committed to the task of producing commissioned leaders of character for America’s Army.

Trimmer will also be attending Buckeye Boys State at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio and the U.S. Naval Academy’s Summer Seminar in Annapolis, Md.
