Drew will graduate in May from Iowa City West High School. He is the son of Tracy and Stephen Drew.
“Admission to West Point is highly competitive and a great honor,” Grassley said. “Students like Christopher work incredibly hard to earn this kind of opportunity, and I join many others, no doubt, in wishing him well and expressing appreciation for his commitment to serving our nation.”
At Iowa City West High School, Drew has been active in National Honor Society, student government, Boy Scouts, track and field, jazz band, show choir, and the school musical.
Drew was one of the Iowa students Grassley recommended this year for appointments to the U.S. service academies. Information about seeking a nomination is posted at /students/academy-nominations.
For more than 200 years, the U.S. service academies have educated and trained the best and the brightest to lead and command the U.S. armed forces.
