Badger State Representatives

Badger State is a week-long youth program held each June to teach Wisconsin high school students leadership and the workings of government. During the week, a mock government is created as citizens elect leaders in 27 cities, 9 counties, and a "51st" state that encompasses the entire program.

Congratulations to the following young men and women who were elected as WLHS Badger State Representatives to this summer's conventions.

Badger State hosts approximately 850 students (called citizens while attending the program) and over 100 volunteer staff members for 8 days on the campuses of Ripon College and UW Oshkosh. 

The program has helped in the growth and training of a number of notable members of society, including Wisconsin governors Scott Walker, Scott McCallum, and Martin Schreiber. The staff and the American Legion seek to provide an educational experience to those who attend the program. Many students find the experience memorable and impactful.
