Selection of
Girls State Citizens
back to top
It is recommended that selection of girls be
made in each case by a committee, consisting of the high school
principal or counselor, unit president and the Girls State
chairman, in addition to the head of any other organization
sponsoring the citizens. A statement to be signed by the
president of the sponsoring unit and high school principal,
certifying that qualifications and requirements have been met,
will be required for each girl selected. Girls State is
intended for the most outstanding girls, from the standpoint of
leadership, character, and scholarship in the high schools.
Only those girls who will enthusiastically devote their FULL
TIME to increasing their knowledge, while at the same time
advancing the whole Girls State Program, should be chosen.
