Luke Noffsinger attended the 84th Annual Alabama Boys State program at The University of Alabama recently. Sponsored by the American Legion Department of Alabama, more than 600 students from across the state met for this unique summit to receive hands-on leadership training in government and community service under the motto, “We Build Citizenship”. Boys state was founded to supplement the curriculum taught in high school civics classes. The program teaches that the preservation of our democracy depends on informed citizens electing responsible officials to administer our government. Luke was elected county commissioner for Jefferson County representing City 12 – Frazier, which was awarded the Best City for the entire Boys State. He was also a part of the Frazier ultimate frisbee team that went undefeated for the week. Luke really enjoyed participating in the week of learning, leading and making lifelong friends. Luke is the President of the Student Government Association at Macon East Academy, and we look forward to Luke implementing the skills he learned and continuing to grow as a leader and role model at Macon East Academy.
