to juniors in the Flivver Foundations classes at KHS. Sean is
a 2013 graduate of Kingsford High School and began attending
the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado

He noted that it was important to speak to the classes at KHS to inform students of the great opportunities a service academy offers. He feels that it is necessary to give back to his country and that goes along with getting a good education that the Air Force Academy offers.
Sean advised students to take Kingsford High School seriously because he was very well-prepared for the academic rigors of the Air Force Academy. KHS is very proud and appreciative of a successful alumnus returning to share his thoughts with students.
