Wicked Local HIngham
Congressman Stephen F. Lynch, D-MA-8th District, recently announced the nomination of Claire Schnorr, of Hingham, for appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy.
Schnorr, the daughter of Dr. Peter and Jean Schnorr, is a student at Hingham High School.
As part of his congressional duties, Lynch nominates exemplary candidates to the service academies each year.
“These candidates are the best of the best, and I am proud of their desire to serve our country,” said Lynch. “The academies graduate leaders who will guide our nation into the future and the men and women who attend the academies are entrusted with the greatest responsibility – to serve and protect the United States of America.”
Schnorr was recommended by her teachers at Hingham High School.
“She is a remarkable young woman, and we are fortunate that young people like Claire are willing to serve our nation,” Lynch said.
Lynch and his congressional liaison to the U.S. Service Academies, Bob Fowkes, examined each candidate’s record of academic, athletic and service achievements in addition to evaluating letters of recommendation. After an extensive review process and a personal interview, Schnorr was selected as someone whose scholastic record and community contributions elevated her to the top of a list of well-qualified candidates.
“There were many impressive candidates this year for the United States Naval Academy,” Lynch said. “Claire stood out as a young woman of keen intelligence and strong character. She is a wonderful reflection of her parents, Peter and Jean. The Schnorr family, the town of Hingham, and the entire commonwealth of Massachusetts should be proud of Claire in this achievement.”
Students interested in attending one of the U.S. Service Academies should contact Bob Fowkes in Congressman Lynch’s Boston office at 617-428-2000.
