What an incredible day for our Republic County High School students at the Kansas Youth and Government Conference at the State Capitol in Topeka!
Our delegation has plenty to celebrate!
William Cherney concluded his final conference as the elected Speaker of the House, wrapping up a year of outstanding leadership and service.
Grae Siemsen and Kymry Hoesli had one of only a handful of bills passed into law, an incredible accomplishment reflecting their hard work and preparation!
Taylor Peters was recognized as one of just six Outstanding Lawmakers among the 102 students participating in the conference!
Our other delegates also played important roles, sponsoring and supporting legislation, collaborating with students from other schools, and helping move bills across the finish line.
We are incredibly proud of our entire delegation: William Cherney, Grae Siemsen, Kymry Hoesli, Giada Smith, Sawyer Stephens, Ren Wright, Peyton Splichal, Taylor Peters, Solros Vanhoulden, and Michael Pachta.
These young people identified real challenges facing Kansas, researched issues, drafted and revised legislation, prepared speeches, and defended their ideas alongside some of the brightest students from across the state.
This is civic education at its best! Our students aren't just learning about democracy. They are practicing it through debate, collaboration, compromise, and active participation.
Phenomenal work from our entire delegation. BUFF PROUD!
As we head into Election Day tomorrow (11/3), our Youth and Government team has one more message for our community: GET OUT AND VOTE!
Every election, whether city, county, state, or national, impacts our lives and our future. Democracy depends on informed, engaged citizens willing to participate.
As President Ronald Reagan once said:
"Government is the people's business."
Our students spent today doing the people's business. Tomorrow, it's our turn to go to work!
Be informed. Be engaged. Make your voice heard. VOTE!
Check out our Republic County Youth and Government students as we are kicking off the Kansas Youth and Government Conference today at the Kansas State Capitol in Topeka!
We are especially proud of William Cherney, who was elected Speaker of the House at last year's conference. William has served in this leadership role over the past year and is serving as a presiding officer in the Kansas Youth House today.
Check out the video linked below to see William officially open today's conference, along with some pictures of our students participating in the early legislative debates!
Throughout the day, our students will participate in the legislative process by presenting bills, debating important issues, and working alongside students from across Kansas.
Youth and Government gives students the opportunity to do more than simply learn about democracy in a classroom. They get to practice it firsthand by engaging in meaningful discussions, considering different perspectives, defending their ideas, and experiencing the responsibilities of civic participation.
Democracy is not just something we study. It is something we practice.
