A Demopolis High School student has been selected for the United States Air Force Academy after being nominated for Rep. Terri Sewell's military service academies program. 

Jane Wright was the student accepted into the academy, said an announcement on Sewell's Facebook page. 

The program takes nominations of students in the seventh district for four of the five military academies in the state. The selected students then serve a minimum of five years in the military after graduation.

"Nominating students to attend our service academies is one of my greatest honors, and I am so proud of Jane and her fellow scholars who accept the call to serve," Sewell said.
