O’Gorman Student Receives Fully Qualified Offer of Appointment to U.S. Naval Academy
Camden Johnson was nominated to the Naval Academy by Sen. Rounds
WASHINGTON—U.S. Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) today announced that Camden Johnson, a senior at O’Gorman High School, has received a fully qualified offer of appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy (USNA). Senator Rounds nominated Camden to USNA. He is the son of Chad and Wendy Johnson of Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
“Congratulations to Camden on receiving an offer of appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy,” said Rounds. “Camden’s aspirations to attend the U.S. Naval Academy and serve in the Navy were inspired by his grandfather’s service in the Navy. He has been active in baseball, jazz band and has been a frequent volunteer in his community of Sioux Falls. Camden is a certified PADI Open Water Scuba Diver, which will prepare him well for the academy and his future endeavors in the Navy.”
“It’s an honor to receive an appointment to the United States Naval Academy,” said Camden. "This is what I have been working toward for so long now. The Naval Academy offers a phenomenal education and will allow me to serve my country as a Naval Officer. It is a very special opportunity and I am thankful for the help of Senator Rounds with my nomination.”
Each year, Sen. Rounds is able to nominate a select group of qualified students from South Dakota to attend our nation’s four service academies: The U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, U.S. Military Academy at West Point and the U.S. Naval Academy.
