Lead Summary

Southern Hills Career and Technical Center was represented at Buckeye Boys State by Anthony Sharp, a senior in automotive technology program.

Buckeye Boys State is a nine-day hands-on experience in the operation of the republican form of government, the organization of political parties, and the relationship of one to the other in shaping Ohio government.

Very high standards are set for the selection of students to attend Buckeye Boys State. The student must first be nominated by a teacher.

Anthony was nominated by his Government teacher Mr. Greg Haitz. He then was interviewed by a panel that selected students from all local high schools to attend the event which is held at Bowling Green University. At the end of June, Anthony spent nine days with other boys learning our government system firsthand.

Boys State is divided into fictional counties, cities, and townships and the boys who attend are required to run for a government office. Although Anthony was unsuccessful in his race for the Board of Regents of a “university” that was established within his city, he was employed in the university. His department studied the future of fossil fuels.

Anthony enjoyed the experience very much and he says, “I now understand how things work with our government system.”  

We know this summer was a pivotal one for all those in attendance.

Southern Hills is very proud of Anthony and hopes his experience at Buckeye Boys State helps him to excel and succeed in his senior year and beyond.[[In-content Ad]]
