• From Mr. Kirkley in Counseling:
     
    "Palmetto Boys State is now accepting applications for its session to be held this summer at Anderson University from June 9-15.  Palmetto Boys State is a program sponsored by the American Legion; boys who exhibit strong leadership skills and who have just completed their junior year of high school are excellent candidates.  Students learn about government and actively create a mock state government with all three branches.  Students can read more about Boys State at www.palmettoboysstate.com.   Palmetto Boys State is an excellent opportunity to build leadership skills, and it is a strong activity to have as part of a college resume.  
     
    The local post of the American Legion has provided Dreher the opportunity to recommend 3 delegates for the program.  Students who are interested in attending should complete the attached application form and return it to Kevin Kirkley in the counseling office by March 20.  Then, a panel will convene to select the delegates from Dreher.  The cost to students for the weeklong program is $120 (the local American Legion branch covers $300 of the cost).  We encourage all interested students to apply; some additional funding may be available to defray the cost for students with financial need.  If the cost would be a financial burden to you, please see Mr. Kirkley in the counseling office.  Please feel free to contact Mr. Kirkley with any questions!"
