Rising senior, Anna Watson represented Macon East Academy at this year’s Alabama Girls State event at Troy University recently. Alabama Girls State is a week-long, fun-filled, hands-on learning opportunity for some of the best and brightest young women in the State of Alabama. Sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary (ALA), Alabama Girls State is a premier youth leadership program which offers a one-of-a-kind experience to its delegates.
Anna was a member of the Senate and the Federalist Party at Alabama Girls State where she campaigned for the office of county commissioner. Anna looks back on her experience at Girls State “It is a wonderful experience because I got to meet people from all over the state and hear thoughts and ideas different from my own. I made connections with people I would otherwise never encounter.” Selection as a delegate for Alabama Girls State is an honor, and the experience that Anna had through this prestigious program will shape her as a leader at Macon East and in her future endeavors.
