Last week in Charleston, four students from Grafton High School participated in the Youth in Government program presented by the Youth Leadership Association. Prior to attending Youth in Governments, these students researched needs in West Virginia and wrote legislation that they felt was important for our state. Bryce Isner was the Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Jaylin Summers and MJ Niggemyer served in the House, while Sophia Austin served as a lobbyist. These students were able to meet with students from all over the state and consider different issues and viewpoints those students feel were important. Grafton High School's Youth Leadership Association (YLA) chapter allows students to consider public policy issues in programs like this and Model United Nations.
