Whereas, all rising seniors in high school, the delegates experienced governmental procedure at Presbyterian College by simulating political campaigns, elections, and the legislative process, and they learned about the principles of citizenship and civil service from guest speakers, expert panels, and a service project; and

Whereas, Reagan Hendrix was elected to the city council, to the chamber of commerce, and ultimately as governor of the sixty-fifth Palmetto Girls State, and the public speaking which was an integral part of her week-long experience has caused her to reconsider her career choice; and
