spots at Girls State

Albany High School JROTC cadets Irene Nelson and Christina Black will represent the City School District of Albany this summer at the 2018 American Legion Auxiliary Empire Girls State program.

Empire Girls State is a hands-on week-long educational workshop focusing on the traditions, institutions and ideals of America and the political process. Nelson and Black, both juniors, will have the opportunity to network with peers from across the state and meet with political dignitaries from various levels of government when they travel to the State University of New York College at Brockport for the event this July.

Members of The Joseph E. Zaloga Post 1520 selected and sponsored Nelson and Black to attend.

Congratulations to both!
