WESTAMPTON — Seventeen-year-old Chloe Worthy isn’t just heading to West Point Prep in New York this summer but she’s walking a path paved with legacy, leadership, and limitless potential.
The Burlington County Institute of Technology (BCIT) graduate, who majored in sports medicine and ranked in the top 5% of her class, will attend the U.S. Military Academy Preparatory School until May 2026 before officially joining the West Point class of 2030.
According the CollegeVine.com, the latest West Point class was made up of 13% African Americans, which is large by historical standards, behind Whites (66%) and Latinos (14%). Twenty-three percent of the last class was female.
Chloe is the daughter of Pastor Carlos Worthy of The Boro Church and Dr. Tiffani Worthy, former mayor of Willingboro and founder of the nonprofit All Things Are Possible. Both of her parents have military backgrounds: her father attended West Point Prep, and her mother is a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy.
While the legacy is strong, Chloe emphasized that the decision to pursue this path was entirely her own.
“There was never any force or pressure to go to West Point,” she said. “My parents gave me the support I needed, whether it was waking up early to go to the gym, helping me meal prep, or driving me to soccer and track events. They allowed me to choose this, and then stood by me every step of the way.”
Chloe’s achievements are a testament to that support system and her own relentless drive. She was a standout student-athlete, earning varsity letters in both soccer and track and field. Her extracurriculars include serving as a BCIT Ambassador, National Honor Society inductee, and class vice president.
She was also recognized as a QuestBridge College Prep Scholar and earned scholarships to top institutions, including the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina State University, and Rutgers University–New Brunswick.
Still, she turned them all down for a shot at West Point.
“I’d rather go to West Point Prep and then West Point than anywhere else,” Chloe said. “It’s about growth, about being with like-minded peers and making West Point better as we grow into the leaders we’re meant to be.”
Her mother, Dr. Tiffani Worthy, was filled with pride. “She had so many options and full-ride offers, but she chose the harder road,” she said. “That showed us her maturity, her faith, and her unwavering commitment.”
Faith has remained central to Chloe’s journey. Her parents credit their greatest advice to reminding her to “keep Christ at the center of every decision.”
“We believe faith is something that transcends our presence,” said Dr. Worthy. “Chloe has her own relationship with God, and that’s the foundation we trust will guide her through the challenges ahead.”
As she left for West Point Prep, Chloe did so with a full heart—honoring her parents’ footsteps while forging her own. She is determined to not just adapt to West Point, but to help shape its future for herself and those who come after her.
“All things are possible,” her family often reminds her, and Chloe Worthy is already proving just that.
