Clover cadets to attend summer military seminars

CLOVER Cadets Jonathan Bruney and Hayden Matkovich, both juniors at Clover High School, have been accepted into the U.S. Air Force Academy and U.S. Naval Academy summer seminars in Colorado Springs, Colo., and Annapolis, Md.

The program teaches students about life at the Air Force and Naval Academies and how academics, athletics and professional training all play roles in developing leaders. Additionally, the seminars help educate, motivate and prepare students who are considering applying to a service academy.
