The American Legion Boys State of Missouri
program was established in 1938 and is a statewide leadership & citizenship training program
specifically developed for high school juniors
who have distinguished themselves as leaders in
their school. During the 8-day program, the
young men experience government through a
"hands on learning" approach, enhance their
leadership skills, and develop an understanding
of their rights and responsibilities as citizens.
Using our democratic system as a basis, they
equip the participants, or citizens, to construct
their own state, utilizing the core values that
hold true in our everyday lives. They teach the
need for competition, the value of public office,
and the strength of the individual voice and vote.
Each candidate for Missouri Boys State must be
in their junior year of high school AND MUST
BE NOMINATED BY THEIR PRINCIPAL.
Only a few students are chosen from our nominees to attend Boys State.
If this is something you are interested in and
would like to be nominated, SEE MRS.
HUTSELL IN ROOM 1131 and she will give you
more details about the nomination process and
application.
Deadline to apply is : DECEMBER 10, 2014,
but please talk to Mrs. Hutsell ASAP.

Scholarships
This is the place to look each week for
scholarship opportunities that we receive in the Guidance Office! But first,
here are some general guidelines when
requesting an OFFICIAL transcript ...
Most scholarship selection committees require an
Official transcript of the applicant's grades. In
order for a transcript to be "Official" it must be
mailed directly from our office to the scholarship
committee or whomever is requesting it. The word
"official" requires that there be no intermediary
involved. This includes students, parents, guardians, etc. PLEASE keep this in mind when applying for scholarships. And, help us out by completing your portion of the scholarship and turning in
the paperwork to Mrs. Hutsell in Room 1131 for
processing your Official transcript.
When applying for a scholarship online, please
send the link to Mrs. Hutsell at
kathy.hutsell@leesummit.k12.mo.us She will be
glad to upload an Official copy of your transcript.
Now that we have that out of the way,
here are some awesome websites that can be very
useful resources when finding scholarships:

Fastweb.com - compiles scholarships from
various organizations for students.
