A trio of young men from Indian Lake High School will participate in 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 government.
Jonathan Henry, son of Derek and Michelle Henry of Russells Point; Rece Kimmel, son of Ron and Ginger Kimmel of Lewistown; and Brant Parsell, son of Brian and Michelle Parsell of Bellefontaine have been selected to represent Indian Lake High School at the 2022 Buckeye Boys’ State this month on the Miami University campus.
Buckeye Boys’ State is sponsored by the American Legion. It is locally sponsored by the following donors: Huntsville Charles Collins American Legion Post 381, Robert Coffman, John Tuttle, Bud’s Marine, Ohio Ready Mix, and Woody’s Diner. If you are interested in sponsoring a student, contact the Huntsville American Legion.
Participants must meet several qualifications: juniors in high school, interested in government and current events, and have an above average scholastic standing. The young men must also demonstrate high moral character, possess strong leadership skills, and have a desire for learning.
The purpose of Buckeye Boys’ State is to provide 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 government.
At Buckeye Boys’ State, young men learn about city, county, and state government through a non-partisan objective education approach. For more information visit www.ohiobuckeyeboysstate.com.
