Glacier High School senior Wyatt Jensen is set to attend the U.S. Military Academy at West Point after graduating this spring, a feat celebrated last week with a visit from U.S. Rep. Ryan Zinke.
Jensen’s father, Wylie, served in the U.S. Army for over 30 years in the Green Berets. It was an influence that Jensen had growing up, one that he looked up to.
Jensen specifically remembers opening the mail with his parents in the third grade when he saw an academy brochure. He was in awe, and immediately knew he wanted to go there one day.
