Four Cathedral Catholic High School graduates have officially begun their journey of service to the nation.

Last Thursday, members of the Class of 2026, Liesel Sellerberg, Max Arnold, Colin McPhail and Oren Penning, reported to the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, where they took their first steps as Plebes in the Class of 2030.

The Plebe Summer experience marks the beginning of a rigorous four-year path of academic excellence, military training and leadership development as midshipmen prepare to serve as officers in the United States Navy and Marine Corps.

Congratulations to Liesel, Max, Colin and Oren on this remarkable achievement. We are proud of their commitment to serving others and wish them every success as they begin this exciting new chapter.
