Qualifications for HGS, includes that a Delegate shall be interested in government, have leadership abilities, be honest and possess good character. She shall show proper respect to the U. S. Flag and have a love for God and Country.
Marquette’s Principal Mr. Jim White states, “Taylor is an impressive young adult. She participates in everything from Student Government to school athletic teams. I know she will take full advantage of this experience and get so much out of it. We are fortunate every year to have American Legion members, ladies auxiliary groups, sororities, civic groups, and private individuals cover the cost of attendance for our students.”
