Boys State and Girls State are sponsored by the American Legion. Students are usually selected and nominated by their history teachers, and students participate in leadership and citizenship programs during the course of the program.
The students usually represent the best students each town has to offer.
Girls and Boys States can be used as college credit, and students who participate can qualify for select scholarships and other awards.
