Grafton High School’s Youth Leadership Association attended YLA’s Youth in Government program at the West Virginia State Capitol from April 22 to April 24. Here, students served as a delegation from Grafton High School to propose model legislation to other students throughout the state of West Virginia.
This has been a process in which students had to propose legislation by suggesting an idea, researching the topic, and writing the bill months before Youth in Government. At Youth in Government, students present their bill before a committee; if it passes the committee, they present it to the full chamber of the student legislature.
Those students in attendance at this year’s Youth in Government program are Seniors Bryce Isner and Addison Nethken, who served as Senators, Seniors Sophia Austin, Jaylin Summers, Ali Wilfong, and McKenna Wilson, who all served in the House of Delegates. Sophomore Rylan Taylor served as a Senator, and Freshman Ava Leard served as part of the press corps.

Thank you to Todd Ensign for joining us remotely! Our GHS Coding Year 2 upperclassmen learned more about the WV Robotics Alliance and related secondary and post-secondary STEM opportunities.
Mr. Ensign shared his background: "I have over 20 years in professional development serving K-16 educators. I am driven by a passion to provide STEM opportunities to historically underrepresented populations across Appalachia. In my current role I manage a team of NASA educational specialists, AmeriCorps volunteers, and interns, and coordinate 13 unique robotics programs in West Virginia. Our programs impact over 20,000 students/year in a rural state of 1.8 million. My greatest strengths are identifying and building strategic partnerships to magnify the effectiveness of programs and grants, and designing and running large-scale events such as the Mountain State Invitational, an international robotics festival and tournament."
Thank you to the K12 Speakers Bureau for helping us to connect with experts in the field!
