American Legion Auxiliary Girls State is a nationally recognized, immersive civics education program designed for young women who have completed their junior year of high school. Since 1942, the Arkansas Girls State program has provided students with hands-on experiences in government, leadership, citizenship, and patriotism while encouraging active involvement in their communities and public service.

During the week-long program, delegates participate in mock government activities, elections, legislative sessions, and leadership development opportunities that help prepare them to become informed and engaged citizens.

The Magnolia School District congratulates Drea, Arely, Tatum, Mckenzie Mayberry, and Mckenzie Jackson on this outstanding accomplishment and thanks the sponsors who helped make this opportunity possible.
