IHSCA Students Attend The 74th General Assembly of Youth and Government

8 of our students went to the state capitol to participate in the 74th General Assembly of Youth and Government, a mock government experience in which approximately 900 high school students from all over the state of Illinois come together to run the capitol for a weekend. Our students worked newspaper media, defended a bill in the Illinois Senate and House of Representatives, and participated in a mock trial at the State House. This weekend also included campaigning, the electoral process, and networking across districts for a unique experience, giving our scholars an insider's look at how our local government operates! A big thank you to our club sponsors Ms. Hatley and Mr. Obaob for empowering our students to learn about government policies and and its methods. Continue reading to see our students in action!
