WCHS Seniors Serve in General Assembly

Five Warren County High School students got a first hand look at our state legislature at work when they served as pages in Atlanta. Aquanette Beausejour, Shandriah Walker, Je'Lisa Williams, Eddie Scott, and James Wilburn accompanied Superintendent Carey to the Capital on March 18. While there, they served as pages for Senator Jackson.

As a page, the students main responsibility was to take notes to senators while they were on the floor of the legislature. According to Beausejour, "It was a great learning experience to actually see how the senators handle certain bills and meet with different associations to get things done."

Shandria Walker also accomplished one of her personal goals of getting a picture with the Governor. Walker noticed the Governor walking toward the capital and asked him to take a picture with her.

The students had the opportunity to eat lunch with Senator Jackson after the work day was done. Each student was given a certificate of thanks for their service.
