(St. Leon, IN) – East Central High School student Owen Mersmann attended the 87th Hoosier Boys’ State the week of June 14-19 at Trine University in Angola.
Mersmann, who is an incoming senior at EC, was one of nearly 170 delegates from across the state who attended the program put on by the American Legion.
Hoosier Boys State is a week-long leadership program for Indiana high school juniors in Indiana, designed to teach civic engagement, government processes, and leadership skills through a simulated state government experience.
He served as a state representative and co-counsel petitioner for a Supreme Court Case.
Mersmann credits the skills he learned at last summer’s Dearborn County Leadership and Law internship program, where he gained extensive knowledge of the state’s legal system and the importance of networking, communication, and working as a team.
