DHS Students Speak w/ Senator David Shafer

Kids and the GA Capitol seem to go hand-in-hand today.

DHS teacher Chris Billingsley writes in…

Thirty Decatur High School students from Mr. Beau Dominguez, Ms. Ann Coleman, and Mr. Chris Billingsley’ 9th grade government classes spent the past three days at the state capital learning about state policy issues.  Besides meeting Governor Perdue, students spent time with lobbyist Mo Thrash (a Decatur resident), Senators David Adelman and David Shafer, Representatives Mary Margaret Oliver and Stephanie Stuckey- Benfield, Mayor Bill Floyd and Commissioner Fred Boykin, and many others.

Three days is quite impressive!   All I can remember from my day at the CT capitol in high school is hitting my head on the ornate detailing of the Charter Oak chair.
