We are proud to announce that Jane Christenson and Sharon Sanchez were selected to represent our school at ALA Utah Girls State this week at Weber State University!!

Sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary, Girls State is one of the nation's premier leadership and citizenship programs for young women. During this week-long experience, participants gain hands-on experience in government by running for office, debating legislation, participating in elections, and working together to create and operate a functioning state government. Students also develop leadership, public speaking, and civic engagement skills while building friendships with other outstanding young women from across Utah.

Selection for Girls State is based on demonstrated leadership, scholarship, service, and character, making this a tremendous honor for both students. Participants have opportunities to serve in city, county, and state government roles, and some may even be selected to represent Utah at Girls Nation in Washington, D.C.

We are excited for Jane and Sharon to represent our school, learn from this incredible experience, and continue developing the leadership skills that will help shape their futures. Congratulations, Jane and Sharon!
