William Saunders III will have his name added to a school plaque listing their top achievers at a special unveiling ceremony on April 3.
During his three years at the academy, Saunders was president of both the Key and Lion's Clubs as well as captain of the sailing, soccer, and track and field teams.
Saunders managed all this in addition to military responsibilities including head of all the school dormitories and playing a leading ceremonial role when the school staged parades.
At age 16 he piloted a plane when former US presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush Sr visited the school having earned a pilot’s licence before he could drive.
