Trent Jorgensen Selected as PCA’s Boys State Representative

Trent Jorgensen was selected to represent Prattville Christian Academy at the 2017 session of the American Legion Auxiliary Alabama Boys State during this past summer.

Boys State is a premier youth leadership program which offers a one-of-a-kind experience to rising male high school seniors in the State of Alabama. Students are chosen based on demonstration of the following characteristics: leadership, hard work, strong morals and motivation in school and community activities.

At Boys State, student delegates become citizens of an imaginary state, taking part in a mock political life through campaigning for and electing officials. In addition to establishing their own government, delegates got the opportunity to hear from state elected officials, business and civic leaders. During his time, Jorgensen successfully campaigned for and was elected to the office of Chief Justice – the presiding judge of their supreme court system.

“This opportunity gave me the chance to meet new people and make many connections that will last a lifetime,” said Jorgensen. “I enjoyed competing in the various debates, sporting events and community service projects.”
