Wicked Local- Hingham
Congressman Stephen F. Lynch, D-MA-8th District, recently announced the nomination of Conrad Pollard Davis, of Hingham, for appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy.
Davis, the son of Michael Pollard and Jennifer Davis, is a senior at Hingham High School.
As part of his congressional duties, Lynch nominates exemplary candidates to the service academies each year.
“These candidates are the best of the best, and I am proud of their desire to serve our country,” said Lynch. “The academies graduate leaders who will guide our nation into the future and the men and women who attend the academies are entrusted with the greatest responsibility – to serve and protect the United States of America.”
Davis was recommended by his teachers at Hingham High School.
“He is a remarkable young man, and we are fortunate that young people like Conrad are willing to serve our nation,” Lynch said.
Lynch and his congressional liaison to the U.S. Service Academies, Bob Fowkes, examined each candidate’s record of academic, athletic and service achievements in addition to evaluating letters of recommendation. After an extensive review process and a personal interview, Davis was selected as someone whose scholastic record and community contributions elevated him to the top of a list of well-qualified candidates.
“There were many impressive candidates this year for the U.S. Naval Academy and Military Academy,” Lynch said. “Conrad stood out as a young man of keen intelligence and strong character. He is a wonderful reflection of his parents, Michael and Jennifer. The Pollard and Davis families, the town of Hingham and the entire commonwealth of Massachusetts should be proud of Conrad in this achievement.”
Students interested in attending one of the U.S. Service Academies should contact Fowkes in Lynch’s Boston office at 617-428-2000.
