American Legion selects Boys State

The 2005 delegates to American Legion Boys State have been chosen to represent Warren County High School and Boyd Christian.

Boys State continues to be the leading training ground for tomorrow’s leaders from the local to the national level. It is not a school-room activity but a practical experience for young men dealing with the actual problems of government as it operates in Tennessee.

Boys State is not meant to take the place of civics or government as the classes are taught in high school. It is planned so young men may put into actual practice the theories of government through actual participation in city, county and state government organized as a mythical 51st state.

Boys State will be held this year May 22-28 at MTSU.

This year’s delegates from WCHS and their parents are:

Clint Richard Boyd, son of Terry and Patty Boyd

Jared Slade Foster, son of Larry Brent and Tina Foster

Michael Jesse Garrison, son of Mike and Nancy Garrison

Ryan Blake Hitchcock, son of Jerry Hitchcock and Deborah Moffitt

Gage Alexander Myers, son of Bobby and Rena Tate

Matthew Allen Robinson, son of Jeffery and Monica Robinson

Michael Issac Slatton, son of Mike and Kreta Slatton

The alternates from WCHS are:

Ross Griffith Garrison, son of Randy and Lisa Garrison

Matthew Ryan King, son of Timothy and Carla King

Michael Brandon Vann, son of Mike Vann

This year’s delegate from Boyd is Nicholas Gulick, son of Mr. and Mrs. David Gulick. Boyd’s alternate is Matthew Hancock, son Gary and Jama Hancock.
