SHREWSBURY – A recent Saint John’s graduate will be attending the United States Military Academy at West Point.
Antonio Leandres wanted to enroll in the academy to not only serve his country, but also obtain a quality education and gain leadership skills to make a difference in the world.
Leandres plans to major in Civil Engineering and intends to serve in the Army after graduation, following in the footsteps of his grandfather who served as a first lieutenant in the Army during the Vietnam War.
During his time at Saint John’s, Leandres played with the football, lacrosse and wrestling team and was a captain of the latter. He was also a member of various clubs after school in his free time.
Leandres is an active member of Saint Mary’s in Jefferson where he served as an altar server and Eucharist minister and volunteered for various Confirmation retreats.
His parents are Elizabeth Aldorisio-Leandres and Hildeberto Leandres.
