John Paul II Catholic School announced that three seniors – Taylor Michael, Neil Bunce, and Steven Schidrich – were chosen last spring as the 2020 representatives for the American Legion Palmetto Girls State and Boys State.

While the summer sessions were canceled due to COVID-19, all delegates who completed the registration process were considered “selected delegates” for the 2020 session.

"Though our student delegates were unable to attend, they were chosen to represent JPII based on their character, leadership skills, and a strong desire to be a part of Palmetto Girls and Boys State," Assistant Principal Heather Rembold said in a release. "The scholarship possibilities, as selected delegates, are extensive, and we are excited for all three of our students – Taylor, Neil, and Steven – as future leadership opportunities become available."
