Cabot School District Celebrates Local Students Chosen for Prestigious 2024 Arkansas Boys and Girls State Program

The Cabot School District has selected 13 students from Cabot High School and Panther Academy to participate in the 2024 Arkansas Boys and Girls State. This program, known for its civics education, chooses high school juniors who excel in leadership, character, academics, and community service. The selection is made by a committee of teachers and members from the American Legion and Legion Auxiliary.

Arkansas Boys and Girls State offers a practical introduction to state and national government operations. The week-long event, scheduled for May 26 to May 31, 2024, includes activities like running for office and simulating government roles. This helps students actively learn about and engage in democratic processes.

The selected group includes students from various parts of the state. The boys' group comprises Peyton Scroggs, Colton Roberts, Hayden Mittistate, Vincent Rodriguez, Kyle Chamness, and Garrett Allen. The girls' group includes Cooper Gary, Harleigh Thomas, Claire Mullins, Lauren Duke, Payton Flynn, Lauren Mann, and Avery Hill, who was not pictured in the announcement.

Local businesses and organizations, including American Legion Post 71, Sons of the American Legion, American Legion Auxiliary, Pinnacle Structures, Pat Bania, Joyland Skating, Envision Contracting and Development, and Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, support these students. Their support is essential for providing this educational opportunity.
