Senior Zachary Friloux Accepts Direct Appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy

The appointment was presented during the school assembly by LCDR Matt Tarabour, USN (Ret.), United States Naval Academy Information Officer.

Senior Zachary Friloux has accepted a direct appointment to the United States Naval Academy, which provides approximately $350-450,000 over the four-year program for tuition, room and board, and complete health care coverage. Upon graduation, midshipmen earn a Bachelor of Science degree and commit to five years of active-duty service as commissioned officers in the United States Navy or Marine Corps.

Friloux has demonstrated commitment and leadership in both academic and co-curricular pursuits at Jesuit. As a Blue Jay, he is an active member of Sodality and has participated in varsity football, where he served as team captain, as well as baseball.

“Attending the Naval Academy is an opportunity to serve something greater than myself while pursuing my dream of becoming a naval aviator.” – Zachary Friloux

Beyond his contributions on campus, Friloux has volunteered with Krewe de Camp, Hams for Fams, and St. Dominic CYO. His commitment to service reflects the values of leadership and dedication fostered throughout his Jesuit experience.

Friloux is an alumnus of Saint Dominic School and Christian Brothers School and the son of Major General Thomas Friloux and Laurie Friloux.
