Noah and Catie Smith will both serve their country in different ways. Noah graduated from the United States Naval Academy and will become a junior submarine officer. Catie reports to the United States Air Force Preparatory School July 11 on her way to becoming part of the Air Force Academy's Class of 2025 to pursue her dream of flying as an officer.

From Noah and Catie's Family:

Noah and a fellow Pennsbury 2016 graduate were the first two Falcons to attend the United States Naval Academy. While at the Naval Academy, Noah lettered twice with the Sprint Football Team, which defeated Army his senior year and won the national championship his junior year. He played bass with the Trident Brass jazz ensemble, serving as a president his senior year, and with the orchestra. He attended the National Outdoor Leadership School in the summer of 2017, backpacking the Alaskan backcountry for 30 days, and also served as both his company and battalion Public Affairs Officer. Upon commissioning as an ensign, he will attend the U.S. Navy's Nuclear Power School in Goose Creek, S.C. before becoming an officer in the submarine fleet.

His sister Catie graduates from Pennsbury this year and she will be the first Falcon to attend the United States Air Force Academy Preparatory School. Should she successfully complete that 10-month program, she will become the first Pennsbury alum to attend the United States Air Force Academy. Catie a state medal-winning JOGA gymnast (Arena Gymnastics in Hamilton, NJ), Lady Falcons Elite basketball veteran, a more than a decade-long member of the Youth Orchestra of Bucks County (trombone and violin), bronze-silver-gold award winner with the Girl Scouts, church choir member, and entrepreneur.

At Happenings Media, we know that many of our local Seniors and their families are not able to celebrate graduations in the way they imagined this year. We hope to shine a light on the accomplishments of these amazing Graduates! If you'd like to submit your Graduate, please click HERE.
