I am reaching out to invite our top junior female students to apply for an outstanding leadership opportunity: Florida Girls State 2027.

Sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary, Girls State provides premier citizenship and leadership training for rising senior women. If selected, participants will attend an all-expenses-paid trip (covering travel, lodging, and meals) to our state capitol in Tallahassee to experience state government in action, build life-long networks, and develop essential leadership skills.

Program Overview & Key Details:
• Purpose: To educate young women on the duties, privileges, rights, and responsibilities of American citizenship through a hands-on, self-governing model.
• Program Dates: June 3, 2027 – June 11, 2027
• Motto: "Forward Forever, Backward Never, Within Ourselves Our Future Lies"
• Eligibility: Available exclusively to top-performing female students in the Junior Class.

This is an incredible honor and a strong addition to college applications, military academy appointments, and scholarship portfolios.

If you are interested in being considered, please see Maj. Mallard in the JROTC department to pick up an application packet.
