Congressman Henry Cuellar (D-TX28) announced today the acceptance of San Antonio Christian School student Isaiah Meuchelboeck, son of Peter and Lottie Meuchelboeck, into the United States Military Academy at West Point.

 

 

“Nominating students from the 28^th District of Texas to military service academies is a responsibility I take very seriously,” Congressman Cuellar said. “Isaiah’s exemplary test scores and his outstanding nomination application made him an ideal candidate, and one I trust will make the 28^th Congressional District of Texas proud as he serves our nation. I’m grateful for Isaiah’s commitment to our country and look forward to following his career.”

 “As Mayor of Windcrest I am pleased that yet another member of our city is joining the ranks of WestPoint’s elite. We are honored to host U.S. Congressman Cuellar and the Meuchelboeck family for this commendable recognition,” said Windcrest Mayor Alan Baxter.

Meuchelboeck lives in Windcrest, Texas, and in addition to impressive grades and test scores, has an impressive resume of extracurricular activities that include selection into the American Legion Boys State, anchoring and reporting for KSAC News, basketball, and volunteering with the Wounded Warrior and Family Support Center through Joint Base San Antonio.

Each year, Congressman Cuellar provides service academy nominations as one step in the military academies’ application process. Nominees must participate in a lengthy review process that evaluates their academic history, leadership skills, extracurricular activities, and personal essays. Final acceptance decisions are made by the service academy.
