Eleven Golden Eagles recently represented Athens City Schools in the 88th Annual American Legion Boys State at The University of Alabama. This leadership program is centered on citizenship, government and public service. Throughout the week, student delegates ran for office, crafted and debated legislation, engaged with local and state leaders and gained hands-on experience and insight into the inner workings of government.
