LOCAL STUDENT PARTICIPATES IN 75TH SESSION OF MISSOURI BOYS STATE

Tyler Layne Rogers participated in The American Legion Boys State of Missouri June 14-21 on the campus of the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg. Tyler was selected based on his leadership, citizenship, academics, and character during his junior year at Scott City High School.

Boys State is a pure democracy in that all citizens may vote and are eligible to hold office. The program is designed to educate and train Missouri's young leaders in functional citizenship, leadership, and government. Nearly 1,000 student leaders build an entire state government in a single week.

Tyler's accomplishments, positions held, and awards earned include: Citizen of Richardson City; Member of the Federalist Party; Sheriff; Chief Deputy Sheriff; Delegate to County Committee, Ward III. He also attended Law Enforcement School.

Rogers (son of Tracy and Shawna Rogers) was sponsored by Scott City R-1 School District and Midwest Truck Sales.
