Winton Woods High School juniors Randy Knepp and Aaron Nightingale have been selected to represent Winton Woods High School and the Hugh Watson Post 530 American Legion Auxiliary at Buckeye Boys State at Bowling Green State University from June 14-22.

American Legion Buckeye Boys State is a nine-day hands-on experience in which students participate in mock government activities with other students from throughout the state of Ohio. While there, young men have the opportunity to learn about city, county, and state government through a non-partisan education approach. They also study the operation of the democratic form of government, the organization of political parties, and the relationship of one to the other in shaping Ohio government.

Buckeye Boys State is the largest Boys State program in the nation and has an attendance of 1,400 young men annually. Boys State programs throughout the United States are sponsored by the American Legion, the nation's largest veterans organization.
