Connor Kalich, a senior at Laurel Highlands High School, has been accepted into the U.S. Naval Academy for the class of 2028. Out of roughly 23,000 candidates, only 1,200 are chosen, making Kalich's appointment an extraordinary achievement!
Kalich has excelled academically and will be graduating summa cum laude with the class of 2024.
