Eleven La Grange High School seniors-to-be (six girls and five boys) have been selected to attend Boys and Girls State programs this summer and have been sponsored by local civic organizations. Both Boys State and Girls State programs give students a better understanding of how to build consensus through civil discourse and debate as well as give them knowledge of our political system and opportunities to put that knowledge into action. Boys State is being held June 8-13 at UT. Girls State is being held June 15-21 at Texas Lutheran University.
