    Congratulations to the Youth in Government Winners
    If you have any of the following students, be sure to congratulate them for their stellar performances in the Youth in Govt. State Assembly held in Tallahassee this last Thurs, Fri, and Sat.

    • Brenna Egan
    • Nalini Prasad
    • Laura Rodriguez
    They represented Boone (competing against 22 other teams from around the state) as a law firm presenting both criminal and civil appellate cases before the Florida Youth in Govt. Supreme Court in the Florida Supreme Court Building.

    They did an absolutely amazing job with their briefs and oral arguments, so much so that Brenna received the "Most Outstanding Civil Attorney" Award and the team came away with the "Most Outstanding Law Firm" Award. We were the only school to receive two top awards for the judicial branch.

    Hats off to our three fine future attorneys.




    Congratulations
