US Rep. Jill Tokuda (HI-02) announced her nomination of 30 students from Hawaiʻi to the US service academies for the Class of 2030. “I am proud to nominate these remarkable students who reflect the strength, diversity, and promise of Hawaiʻi. They bring a deep sense of purpose and a commitment to serving something greater than themselves,” said Tokuda. “Earning the opportunity to attend one of our nation’s historic and prestigious service academies is a rare distinction that carries a legacy of leadership, sacrifice, and duty. Students were measured on their scholastic achievement, leadership experience, school involvement, athletic and extra-curricular activities, community contributions, and volunteer or employment experiences.
