Congressman Rothfus meets with senior Anthony Hite, his family, and faculty at Aquinas Academy of Pittsburgh for the flag dedication ceremony

RICHLAND TOWNSHIP, Pa. – Representative Keith Rothfus (PA-12) joined the students and faculty of Aquinas Academy of Pittsburgh for its flagpole dedication ceremony. Aquinas Academy senior, Anthony Hite, installed the school’s new flagpole as part of his Eagle Scout project for Boy Scout Troop 596. Anthony chose his project because he thought it was important for the school to have a flagpole as a visible symbol of his and the school community’s love for our Nation.

“It is important that we impart to our young people the values of hard work, leadership, and community,” said Congressman Rothfus. “Anthony’s dedication to raise the necessary funds and bring his community together to install his school’s new flagpole exemplifies these principles. I am honored to have participated in this special ceremony, and I look forward to hearing of Anthony’s future successes.”

“Aquinas Academy of Pittsburgh is excited to have Representative Keith Rothfus joining us for our flag raising ceremony. We are thrilled that he is honoring the hard work of our student, Anthony Hite, who has completed his Eagle Scout project of installing a new flag pole so that we may, as a school, proudly display the colors,” said Leslie Mitros, Aquinas Academy of Pittsburgh Head of School.
