Two Rochelle Township High School graduates on their way to earning their wings at the U.S. Air Force Academy welcomed their parents during Parents’ Weekend over the Labor Day holiday weekend.
Sarah Antolik, RTHS Class of 2015, and Hunter Haggestad, Class of 2017, are among the over 4,000 enrolled in the Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo. Each year the U.S. Air Force Academy hosts the extended weekend for cadets and their families to connect.
Antolik (Cadet 2nd Class), now in her third year at the academy, is currently ranked as a Cadet Master Sargeant with a current position of Executive Officer of the U.S. Air Force Academy Drum and Bugle Corps. Her parents, Ray and Michelle, along with Haggestad’s parents, Todd and Teresa, joined the many parents for a weekend filled with activities and events.
“For many of the freshmen (Cadet 4th Class) it is the first time they see their parents since they were dropped off for basic training at the end of June,” said Ray.
