The students participated in city, county and state elections; athletics; heard from guest speakers and attended programs which they learned about the police academy, law schools, firefighters training and about the homeland defense school.
Guest speakers included Gov. Brad Henry, Lt. Gov. Mary Fallin, former Gov. George Nigh, Secretary of Veterans Affairs Norman Lamb, Highway Patrol Chief Gary Adams, Oklahoma City Police Chaplain Jack Poe, and Southwest Missouri State Boys Basketball Coach Barry Henson, Page said.
