Student Government Day in Roane County

Each year Roane County government hosts a Student Government Day. Students from area high schools are elected to serve as county executive, judge, etc. for the day. They attend meetings and shadow their government employee for the day. County Executive Ron Woody invited IPS to participate in this year's opening ceremony.

MTAS Executive Director Steve Thompson spoke to the group about the value of education and the value of participation in public service whether through running for office, working for government or simply voting.

Thanks to Steve for representing us well!
