A Franklin County Student was one of 11 from across North
Florida to be nominated to attend a United States Military Service Academy.
Joshua Patriotis, who
attends the Franklin County School in Eastpoint, was nominated by
Representative Gwen Graham to the Air Force Academy.
He was selected by a
nomination committee based on academic record, test scores, leadership ability,
involvement in extracurricular activities and demonstrated commitment to
serving the country.
Joshua is the son of
Themo and April Patriotis of Apalachicola.
He has a long list of
accomplishments including serving as Franklin County’s Sunshine State Scholar
in 2015.
He is a member of student
government and the National Honor Society.
He runs track and field,
and was team captain and seahawk player of the year for soccer.
He also stays active
outside of school and serves as part of the youth leadership in his church and
volunteers at the Forgotten Coast Paddle Jam among many other events and
fundraisers.
And while the nomination
doesn’t guarantee his acceptance to the academy, it is a necessary step in the application
process.
Joshua said he will now
have to finish the application and have a physical and then wait to see if he
is accepted.
