A group of Howell High School students recently placed second in the state in the “We the People: the Citizen and the Constitution” competition. It brought high school students from all over Michigan to the Capitol earlier this month to learn about the Constitution and being involved in government.

State Representative Cindy Denby of Handy Township has served as a judge of the statewide competition for several years. The Republican lawmaker says she is always impressed by the vast amount of knowledge students bring to the table and has no doubt that many future government leaders were part of the exciting competition and she’s anxious to see what they achieve in the future. The Howell High School team was comprised of 33 students and was led by their Teacher Mark Oglesby.
