Cumberland County High School has announced their Tennessee American Legion Auxiliary Girls State and Tennessee American Legion Boys State representatives for 2022.

Elsey Doris, BreOnna Inman, and Tay Shultz will represent CCHS at Girls State on the campus of Lipscomb University in Nashville, May 29 to June 4, 2022.

Michael Lewis and Jaxon Reed will represent CCHS at Boys State on the campus of Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville, May 22 to May 27, 2022.

Congratulations to these five Cumberland County High School Juniors for their nominations and acceptance as delegates into these prestigious programs. To be selected for these programs is a huge honor, as Boys and Girls State is among the most respected and selective educational programs of government instruction for high school students. As participants in these programs students will meet with current government leaders and officials from around our state during their sessions while also participating with other high school juniors from every county in Tennessee.

High school juniors are nominated by CCHS faculty and academic teachers and then selected and sponsored by the local American Legion Posts, DAR Chapters, and other generous community donors and sponsors. These sponsorships allow each of the students to attend these programs the summer before their senior year.
