Congresswoman Aumua Amata is proud to congratulate Miss Ji Hyun Oh upon her second acceptance to another of the nation’s prestigious service academies, this time the United States Air Force Academy.
A few weeks ago, she announced that the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, also offered a fully qualified appointment to be a member of the Class of 2022.
The congresswoman said, “Once again, I’m very pleased to announce a fully qualified appointment for Ji Hyun Oh, this time to the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado.
“I’m so happy for her and her family, and I know all the proud educators in her life feel a part of this moment. We’re truly proud of her.”
Ji Hyun Oh was one of the local students nominated by Amata to compete for an appointment to a service academy this year.
She was born in American Samoa to her proud parents, Shi Yeong Oh and Jin Sook Lee.
She was educated here in American Samoa and graduated from South Pacific Academy in 2017 as the class valedictorian with a GPA of 3.95.
Her brother, Midshipmen Hyun Duck Oh, is in his first year at the U.S. Naval Academy.
The congresswoman said, “These are wonderful opportunities, and it takes a lot of sustained effort to reach this high academic level.
“Keep up the good work.”
