Juniors representing Bonny Eagle High School at the Dirigo Boys and Girls State program are Rachel Porter and Tyler Shortsleeve. Boys and Girls State provides juniors with a program that supplements their high school courses in government and teaches them how government functions. In this program, students role-play as they learn to campaign for local, county and state offices and then organize and carry out functions in state government. This year, Girls State will be held at Husson College in Bangor and Boys State will be at Thomas College in Waterville. Courtesy photo by Kathy Campbell
