Nineteen Camden Fairview juniors were selected to attend Girls State and Boys State this summer. Arkansas Girls State and Boys State are immersive civics education programs for students who have completed their junior year of high school. For decades, these programs have taught young Arkansans to actively participate in their communities and government at every level.
Summer Brown, Kennedy Burks, Aamori Johnson, Armoni Johnson, Sara McMurry, Brynlee Purifoy, Jasmine Sams, Imyne Smith, Melanie Wylie, and Emma Tuberville were selected to attend Girls State at Harding University from May 26 through 31, 2024.
Darrell Atkins, Nicolas Easter, Jamari Gulley, Zantonio Lewis, Jordan McCoy, Xaiver McHenry, Gabriel Parrish, Peyton Pennington, and Christen Strong were selected to attend Boys State at the University of Conway Arkansas from May 26 through 31, 2024.
Congratulations to the Camden Fairview students who were selected! Each delegate is assigned a place in a mock political party, city, or county government. Throughout the weeklong program, delegates will hold nominations and elections for various roles within their mock government. This experience provides delegates with practical instruction on the duties and responsibilities of citizens and public officials.
