SARATOGA SPRINGS — On Feb. 28, Joseph R. Lombardo, a Saratoga Central Catholic High School student, was offered and accepted a seat at the US Air Force Academy (USAFA) Summer Seminar held annually for select High School Juniors at the USAFA Campus in Colorado.
Thousands apply each year from across the nation and even globally. After an intensely competitive application process, approximately 500-600 students will experience a week of living and working like current cadets in order to give them a taste of the military service academy experience.
Joseph is excited and grateful to count himself among this elite group as his future aspirations point toward a service career in the US Air Force or US Space Force.
