“While on the Youth Tour, I’m looking forward to learning more about the work politicians do,” said Cale. “I’m also excited to see all the monuments.

“I’ve never been to D.C., and I’m really looking forward to finally going. In my eighth-grade year, the school planned a trip to Washington, D.C., however, the trip was canceled because of COVID-19 and the beginning of the quarantine.

“I will use this experience to learn more about the National Capital and the political process,” Cale said. “This will give me a chance to determine if I would like to pursue a career in politics!”

The Twin Lakes High School theatre has been a major part of Caleb’s extracurricular activities. Both the fall productions and spring musicals have benefited from his talents.

“I went to D.C. about six years ago,” said Caleb. “This trip will be a great opportunity to take in more things as I have learned so much more since then. I look forward
