2 boys in front of poster for 88th Governor and Lt. Governor

Recently, several of our juniors attended Buckeye Girls and Buckeye Boys State.  Buckeye State, sponsored by the American Legion, is an eight-day hands-on experience in the operation of the democratic form of government, the organization of political parties, and the relationship of one to the other in shaping Ohio's government.

Hundreds of students from across Ohio are selected to attend annually. The boys stay at Miami University while the girls stay at Bowling Green State University. The program is free to the delegates. 

This year, the following WCHS students were selected to attend: Kylee Adams, Isabella Caupp, Brianna Cooke, Ava Cronenwett, Carson Baumaster, Kaden Davis, Nicky Jensvold, Jerry Marvin, Tyson Nguyen, and Yahir Portillo.

Nicky Jensvold, 26-27 Student Body President, was among 700 delegates who attended Boys' State this year.  While at Buckeye Boys, he campaigned and was elected Governor for this year's program.
