“Our mission is to recognize the courage and commitment of high school graduates committed to serve our country” says Dr. Matt Weinheimer, BCSS Board Chair and US Navy veteran.

Dr. Haines adds “Students who become accomplished in their careers as doctors, lawyers, engineers and sports stars are celebrated, yet those who have stepped up to serve our country too often are not ”.
