WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Representative Trent Kelly (R-MS) is pleased to announce the appointment of Conner Couch to the U.S. Naval Academy. A senior at Hernando High School, Conner has earned numerous academic honors and awards in the classroom, sports, and extracurricular activities.
Conner is dedicated to community service as a volunteer for HHES Mentoring and Hernando Parks and Recreation. He has been involved in various leadership roles, including serving on the Hernando Mayor's Youth Leadership Council, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, as a student at Air Venture Flight Center, and as a Student Ambassador Leader. "I am excited to attend the United States Naval Academy because I can pursue a desired STEM major and actively work toward a career in the Navy," Conner said. "I hope to become a Naval Aviator, but if that doesn't work out, I aspire to pursue a career in submarine warfare. I am very thankful for my family, community, and God for making this aspiration possible."
