SUMMARY:

Boys State offers training in the positive processes of self-government and good citizenship as practiced in a democratic society. Over the course of a week, students practice self-governance and learn the importance of meaningful participation on all levels of government.
Eli Short is a 2017 Boys State delegate representing Vacaville Christian High School. As a California Boys State delegate sponsored by American Legion Post 208, in Dixon, Eli was chosen from some of the highest-achieving high school juniors from throughout the state to attend the weeklong program.
