Four King George grads at U.S. Naval Academy

Elena De La Rosa is well aware that many people she comes in contact with at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis—as well as those who live outside the Fredericksburg area—would have a hard time recognizing her hometown. “Most people can’t even point out King George on the map,” she said, “but having so many of us here from the same humble beginnings proves that King George High School breeds a caliber of student that are competitive, intelligent and service-oriented.” De La Rosa, 22, is a senior—a 1/C Midshipman in academy lingo—and one of four King George High School graduates at the naval academy. This year, there’s a King George alum representing every class at the academy, from 4/C, which is the freshman or “plebe” year, to De La Rosa and her fellow seniors, known as “firsties.”
