What is it all about?
Tennessee Youth Legislature is a program that allows high school students from across the state to participate in mock legislature session in Nashville every spring. Ooltewah students join hundreds of other students to debate state issues, argue Supreme Court cases, prepare a conference-wide newspaper, and preside over committee sessions as officers- all in the actual state legislature facilities.
Students work in pairs to write bills for the House and Senate or prepare cases for the Supreme Court. The divisions are: Blue House, Blue Senate, Red House, Red Senate, Press, Lobbyist, Novice Attorney team, Senior Attorney team, and Supreme Court Justice.
If you are interested in participating in this program, listen up for announcements or if you have questions, contact Mrs. Fuller.
