This Summer, Josh Pryor and Zane Hinchey attended Arkansas Boys State while Jessica Smith and Ashley Reyome went to Arkansas Girls State. It is an honor to be chosen to attend Boys or Girls State based on leadership skills, character, integrity, and academic achievement. At Boys or Girls State Students Learn about how the government works by mocking a political party, city, and county. The program is a week long on a college campus where the students are divided into “cities” in the dormitories. At the end of the week, they have created their own state government with a governor, staff of state officials, and many more jobs and positions.
