BADGER BOYS STATE
“Badger Boys State is by far one of the most self-rewarding things to be a part of as a high school junior. So many lessons are learned through the 8 days of campaigning, group discussions, and most importantly making your own connection within your group. I would recommend any junior who is interested to seek out information, because Badger Boys is a once in a lifetime experience.” - Dalton Brauner, 2017 BBS Citizen
ORATORICAL COMPETITION The American Legion High School Oratorical Scholarship Program is a “A Constitutional Speech Contest” held for students to develop a deeper appreciation and understanding of the Constitution of The United States.
