Heartland High School Junior Selected to Attend Girls State
Miranda Driewer from Heartland High School has been selected to attend this year's Cornhusker Girls State Session.
Girls state is a nationwide program sponsored by the America Legion Auxiliary. Each year more than 400 girls from throughout the state are offered an opportunity to be active participants in structured role-playing that emphasizes our Democratic form of government.
The selection process is difficult and only the most qualified high school juniors are selected to participate. The America Legion Auxiliary works with the local high schools in the process. The students selected have demonstrated an interest in learning government and are leaders in their high schools.
The Department of Nebraska America Legion Auxiliary Cornhusker Girls State session will be conducted at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, from June 6-12, 2010.
