Boys State, Open House

Hey guys hope your school year is going great even though I'm sure you are all excited as it is winding down to summer; I know that I am. Recently i was selected to attend American Legion's annual Boys State held at Rider University in June. American Legion Boys State is among the most respected and selective educational programs of government instruction for high school students. It is a participatory program where each participant becomes a part of the operation of their local, county and state government. I am so grateful for the opportunity that Union Catholic and the American Legion has given me because not many boys are able to experience this great chance to show your leadership skills in a governmental environment.
At American Legion Boys State, I will be exposed to the rights and privileges, the
duties and the responsibilities of a franchised citizen. My training is objective and practical
with city, county and state governments operated by my peers elected to the various
offices. The activities I will participate in include legislative sessions, court proceedings, law enforcement presentations, assemblies, bands, chorus and recreational programs.

This week on Wednesday night is our annual Spring Open House for prospective students and their parents. It is a great opportunity to see the school from not only the faculty's perspective, but also the student's perspective. I hope all of you that can come do attend because I love to see people looking at Union Catholic and seeing what a great experience all of the students have here with the academic but also social part of high school. I hope school and all your other activities are going great and hopefully I will be able to see all your faces and share with you all my experiences here at UC.
