HJSHS Students Invited as Participants at American Legion Auxiliary Palmetto Girls
Jasper County School District has an impressive number of leaders-in-training, including students Leah Gerald and Sha'Kiyah Jefferson from Hardeeville Junior & Senior High School. These two exceptional students have been selected to attend the prestigious American Legion Auxiliary Palmetto Girls State, which is a leadership and citizenship training program. The program will be held at Presbyterian College in Clinton, SC from June 9-15, 2024.
American Legion Auxiliary Palmetto Girls State is not just an ordinary program but an immersive experience that provides high school students with a hands-on application of government and citizenship. Leah and Sha'Kiyah will participate in mock political activities at all levels of government by creating a mythical state of "Palmetto." This program will educate them about state and local government, citizenship, and public service principles.
At ALA Palmetto Girls State, Leah and Sha'Kiyah will engage in political campaigns, elections, and political processes to simulate real-life scenarios. This approach will ensure that they have a deep understanding of citizenship and public service principles.
Hardeeville Junior & Senior High School is proud of Leah Gerald and Sha'Kiyah Jefferson for earning this fantastic opportunity. Congratulations to both students!
