GUERNSEY—Kailey Haase and Lorelai White of Guernsey-Sunrise High School have been selected to attend the 2025 session of the American Legion Auxiliary Wyoming Girls State that will be held on the campus of Laramie County Community College in Cheyenne June 8-14.
American Legion Auxiliary Girls State was established in 1941 and is an annual program designed as a practical experience in self-government, based on Wyoming State Government. Wyoming Girls State was not held in 1944 and 1945 due to World War II. It is non-partisan and non-political in that no existing party is promoted.
The program emphasizes the importance of government in modern life and educates young women in the duties, privileges, rights and responsibilities of American citizenship. It awakens a sincere conviction that a well-informed, intelligent, participating citizenry is vital to protect and preserve our American institutions and our democracy.
These goals are achieved by actual participation in a simulation of the political and governmental process.
