Middle School Students Participate In Youth Legislature
Youth Legislature is a middle school program that introduces students to the legislative process. For 35 years, the program has promoted youth leadership, cooperation and teamwork among peers and has given students the confidence they need to go on to participate in leadership roles in high school and in their community. Students who participate in Youth Legislature receive classroom instruction and participate in a two-day mock legislative session.
This year, all events took place on campus. Students elected the following officers to serve throughout their event:
- Layla – Governor
- Jackson – Speaker of the House
- Micah – President of the Senate
- Paige and Mary – Press Delegates
- Sydney and Sienna – Photo Journalists
Once elected, committees sponsor, debate, pass and fail bills, which they have drafted. They lead and serve on legislative committees and fight for what they believe our community deserves.
