D. Alijah Curtis
Alijah is a young leader who has proven to be a fine young man on so many levels throughout the City of Canton, Ohio. Alijah volunteers his spare time (outside of taking college courses, captain/quarterback of McKinley football team, swim, and play baseball) speaking to elementary students about character and making good choices.
He works extremely hard on and off the field. I have known of him for several years. He is an exceptional student-athlete carrying a 3.7 GPA The important traits he exhibits will carry him a long way in life: kindness, respect, integrity, and compassion. We look forward to his continual success at West Point to continue his football career at the United States Military Academy. Congratulations Alijah!
