North Babylon Student Qualifies for FBI Program
Freshman Margaret McKeever had to meet a number of criteria in order to qualify.

Margaret McKeever, a freshman at North Babylon High School in the North Babylon School District, has been selected to attend a Youth Leadership Program hosted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation National Academy Associates (FBINAA), a premier law enforcement training agency.
The FBINAA hosts its prestigious weeklong program annually. McKeever is one of just two students selected within the New York Eastern Canada chapter, and one of only 60 selected worldwide.
There are a number of criteria McKeever needed to meet in order to qualify: the program is open to students 14-16 years old, who have demonstrated high academic standards and good citizenship, and who are of high moral character. The student must also be nominated by a FBINAA graduate in good standing. McKeever interviewed with chapter representatives and a selection committee before the FBINAA and program coordinator decided to offer her the opportunity of a lifetime. McKeever will attend the 17th session of the FBINAA Youth Leadership Program on June 13-20 in Quantico, Virginia.
