CHARLESTON -- Five students from the region have been named Honorary Secretaries of State for West Virginia.
They are Levi French of Ravenswood High School, Trey Jones and Garrison Phillips of Ripley High School and Creed Ammons and Jonus Glover of Tyler Consolidated High School.
The Honorary Secretary of State program recognizes high school students committed to registering, informing and mobilizing their peers to vote. Honorees are from Jennings Randolph Award-winning schools and are nominated by their teachers.
"These students are leaders in their schools and future leaders in their communities," Secretary of State Mac Warner said. "Their commitment to voter engagement is a reflection of their interest in the electoral process and the betterment of our state."
Honorees are invited to spend time at the Capitol, learn about the duties of the Secretary of State and functions of the Legislature.
More than 40 high schools participated in the Jennings Randolph Award program during the 2019-2020 school year. Up to two students from each award-winning school may be recognized as Honorary Secretaries of State.
