LINCOLNTON -- A Lincolnton High School senior has been approved for
admission to the Air Force Academy class of 2013.

Through Nora Nordmark's appointment, she is entitled to the equivalent of a
full undergraduate scholarship including room and board, medical and
dental care and a monthly pay allowance. The package is currently valued
at $403,000. Upon graduation, she will be commissioned as a second
lieutenant in the Air Force.

Nordmark, who moved from Portland, Ore., to Lincolnton two years ago,
has been preparing for the Air Force Academy.

"Nora's Air Force Academy nomination is certainly well deserved," said
Garry Pratt, LHS Junior ROTC teacher. "This honor not only validates her
existing talent but it substantiates her future leadership potential and desire
to serve as an Air Force officer."

Nordmark begins six weeks of basic training in June.
