Matthew McCoy, a senior at Allen High School, was recently selected as one of 28 cadets nationwide to participate in an eight-week Naval STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Flight Academy program. McCoy successfully earned his private pilot license, becoming the fourth Allen High School student to complete this program.
McCoy serves as the Cadet Commanding Officer of the Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (MCJROTC) at Allen High School. He is also a member of the Varsity Swim Team, the National Honor Society, and Scout Troop 624 in Allen, where he is an Eagle Scout.
"I'd like to thank the Naval STEM Coordination Office for this opportunity and challenge,” said McCoy. “The Flight Academy was an experience to remember, and it has further invigorated my goal of flying for the Navy. I look forward to sharing this opportunity with many more qualified candidates."
McCoy also acknowledged the support from Allen ISD, adding, "I would also like to thank Sgt. Maj. Cole and the Allen ISD Administration for their support of the MCJROTC Program at Allen High School. The addition of the Aviation Club and investment in the Flight Simulator gives AHS Navy Flight School candidates hands-on experience with aviation."
Congratulations to Matthew McCoy on his outstanding accomplishment!
