Ten SJCS students had the honor of participating in the American Legion Palmetto Boys State and the American Legion Auxiliary Palmetto Girls State the week of June 8-14.
Fin Brackett, Jackson Campbell, John Eberstein, Sam Kane, Burke Moorman, Paul Norman, Hampton Norwood, Sam Utecht and Byron Webb attended Boys State at Anderson University. They were sponsored by American Legion Post 271.
Elasayd Okuley attended Girls State at Presbyterian College and was sponsored by ALA Unit 3.
Both are one-week leadership and citizenship training programs designed to educate outstanding high school students -- all rising seniors -- about state and local government.
