This year was the first time participating in the North Carolina Youth and Government Conference for sophomore Dwight Thompson.
"It was an incredible experience I will never forget."
During the conference, he presented a bill to expand and strengthen North Carolina high school arts programs. This bill mainly focused on underfunded schools, but would also benefit all North Carolina High Schools, especially Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools, because of the county's money deficits. Dwight presented this bill with two other WSFCS students, Ethan Truzy and Evan Truzy, who both attend RJ Reynolds High School. With Evan's calm demeanor under pressure and Ethan's outgoing personality, the trio took the bill from chamber to chamber all the way to the Governor's Cabinet and had it signed into Youth and Government law.
"This was an amazing experience that I would recommend to all students interested in government, and it was some of the most fun I have had in a while."

Please be aware that if you choose to leave campus after Senior Day activities, your 4th period absence may not be excused. In order to leave after Senior Day, each student must complete all scheduled activities.
Each senior will receive a Senior Day activity card. This card must be fully completed and checked off throughout the day. Incomplete cards will prevent you from leaving Senior Day early.
Students are expected to wear appropriate attire, as pictures will be taken and we want the process to go smoothly for everyone.
