Wesleyan School is pleased to announce that Wesleyan senior Jacob Price received an
appointment as a midshipman for the United States Naval Academy class of 2025. Jacob
received nominations from Congresswoman Lucy McBath and Senator David Perdue and a
guaranteed offer of acceptance in November for his outstanding accomplishments.
A member of the state cross-country team and the state swim and dive team where he earned
back-to-back Gwinnett County Diver of the Year awards, Jacob has been a four-year competitor
in both sports and a valued member of the track and field team for the past four years. In
addition to his athletic abilities, Jacob served for three years on the Honor Council culminating
in being elected as the president this year, participated in Mock Trial, and served as a Wesleyan
Ambassador and Peer Leader. Jacob was Wesleyan’s Morehead-Cain co-nominee, a National
Merit scholar, and AP Scholar with Distinction. He is a member of the English National Honor
Society, Mu Alpha Theta, Modern and Classical Languages Honor Societies, Ro Kappa, the
Science National Honor Society, and the National Honor Society.
Jacob’s desire to serve his country began after hearing about the Academy from his peer leader,
Megan Gallagher ‘18. With a single-minded focus, Jacob set his sights on the Naval Academy,
one of the country’s premier officer training programs, and participated in the Candidate Visit
Weekend during his junior year. Jacob will report to the Naval Academy in July, where he will
major in cyber operations.
