Zionsville residents Kayley Adams, Jaclyn Pullen, Saengrawee Sintananukul, and Claire Badger have been chosen by the Zionsville American Legion Auxiliary Unit #79 to attend the 73rd annual session of Hoosier Girls State. HGS will be held from June 22 to June 28, on the campus of Trine University in Angola, Ind.
All of the girls are juniors at Zionsville High School. They will join more than 600 other young women for this government program designed to educate our leaders of tomorrow in the duties, privileges, right and responsibilities of citizenship. This session of government and practical politics is non-partisan and non-political.
The girls will begin their week-long adventure by registering to vote, where they receive an assignment to a mythical political party that has no political organization or party platform – all established by the delegates.
Delegates also must file for an elected office on the City, County or State level. They then conduct their political campaign complete with speeches and campaign materials.
