U.S. Senators Jim Risch and Mike Crapo, along with U.S. Representatives Mike Simpson and Russ Fulcher, have announced a series of events in Idaho aimed at educating young residents and their families about U.S. service academies. These events will provide an opportunity for students, parents, and counselors to interact with representatives from the academies and learn about the nomination process from members of the Idaho Congressional Delegation.

The four service academies that will be represented are the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Air Force Academy, and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.

The events are scheduled as follows:

In Central Idaho, an event will take place on March 26 from 6 to 8 p.m. PST at Lewiston High School Library located at 3201 Cecil Andrus Way in Lewiston.

In North Idaho, a session is planned for April 3 from 6 to 8 p.m. PST at North Idaho College Student Union Building at 495 N. College Drive in Coeur d’Alene.

For South Idaho, both in-person and Zoom options are available on April 12 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., but RSVP is required. Interested parties should contact Amy Sorensen with Congressman Mike Simpson’s Office at (208) 523-6701 for more details. The event will be held at Gowen Field Readiness Building #440 located at 4087 W. Harvard St in Boise.
