Congratulations to Jack Jones for being selected as a delegate at the Eighty-Fifth American Legion Alabama Boys State. This is an incredible honor and experience for rising Senior young men from across the State of Alabama. He was a credit to his community and to Macon East Academy.
Jack was elected by his Alabama Boys State peers to the position of House of Representatives. During his week, he served as an active citizen and official while learning about the responsibilities and benefits of citizenship in the State of Alabama and the United States.
Jack received scholarships from The University of Alabama, The University of West Alabama, Hampden Sidney College in Virginia, The University of Montevallo, Troy University, and South Alabama.
Nearly 470 rising high school seniors from across the state participated in the week-long program hosted by Troy University to learn about Alabama, civics, and issues facing Alabama. Way to go Jack! #boysstate #maconeastacademy
