WASHINGTON-Rep. John Ratcliffe's Congressional Student Leadership Program kicked off last week for high school sophomores and juniors across Texas' 4th District for the 2018-2019 school year. This marks the third year of the program, which has expanded to include four physical meeting locations in Rockwall, Mount Pleasant, Texarkana and Sherman.
The participants will meet three more times throughout the remainder of the school year for sessions that will include educational lectures, research of legislative issues and interactive group projects. They will receive a certificate upon successful completion of the
program.
"I'm grateful that we have another great group of students joining us for the Congressional Student Leadership Program this year," Ratcliffe stated in a press release. "Each participant has a strong determination to go above and beyond to become civically involved in their community and I'm glad for the opportunity we have to help them do just that."
