Congratulations to Liam Bullock on receiving the Congressional Award! Liam has spent the last 3 1/2+ years working on this. He had to complete 400 hours of community service, 200 hours of personal development, 200 hours of physical fitness, and a 4-day expedition. His personal development is to earn Eagle Scout, which he is one project away from, in achieving this goal. He also had a fitness goal to become a black belt in mixed martial arts. The Congressional Award is given to a student for outstanding contribution to their community, and undertaking the values of initiatives, service, and achievement. It is the highest award Congress presents to a youth.

Summer trainings available.
