THE KING’S ACADEMY

Sophomore Jordan Gableman recently returned from the Georgetown University Junior Statesman Summer School. The three-week program brought students together from around the world. Participants were chosen based on academic achievement, leadership ability, maturity and interest in politics, history and government. Jordan chose to take the U.S. government and politics track, which enabled her to complete one semester of advanced placement U.S. government and politics, a college level course and a congressional workshop practicum.
