Honorary Old Boy, Showing his Honor

Roman Ochoa (Hon '17) entered 3rd grade at Western in 2011, the second year of the school, but had to leave after 6th grade. Since then, Roman has kept close with us and with his 2017 classmates. For this, he is among a special group of a dozen boys from the early days we call Honorary Old Boys of Western.

Roman will be graduating in May from the US Military Academy at West Point, majoring in Mechanical Engineering. Roman branched Infantry and will be heading to IBOLC (Infantry Basic Officer Leadership Course) and Ranger School at Fort Moore, Georgia, for the next year. After that he will be stationed in Vilseck, Germany. Thanks for your service, young man!
