State Superintendent Truitt’s Student Advisory Council application for this school year is live!!!
The application is here: (Link HERE) and is also on the NCDPI's webpage.
This is an opportunity for high school juniors across NC to serve on Superintendent Truitt’s Student Advisory Council.https://tarheelboysstate.org/ -The American Legion Tar Heel Boys State (THBS) is a summer civic education program that was created to supplement the information taught in high school civics classes and provide an experiential opportunity for the leaders of tomorrow. The 2024 THBS will be held at Catawba College in Salisbury, NC on June 16-22.
In practice, THBS delegates will operate all three branches of a simulated state government and a few municipalities. Legislators will write and advocate bills on a variety of issues. The governor - supported by his cabinet - pushes initiatives and signs/vetoes bills. Supreme Court justices rule on constitutionality. Cities request funding for their projects, all in a fiscally constrained environment. They must all set priorities and serve their constituents, just like elected officials in Raleigh and around the state.
Forty-nine U.S. states operate their own Boys State in early summer, and top graduates from each state are sent to Boys Nation - another American Legion program - a few weeks later in Washington, D.C. It's also worth noting that these prestigious programs are universally recognized by college admissions and scholarship committees.
American Legion Post 208 will sponsor at least three young men for TBHS this year; in other words, we will cover the $500 tuition/room/board fee for each sponsored delegate. We plan to make selections on a first-come, first-served basis from qualified students that apply by March 28, 2024 (i.e., before Spring Break).
