Forsyth County held a graduation ceremony for the second annual class of the Citizens’ Academy program on Sept. 20.
The graduation followed the kickoff of the Forsyth County 2023-24 Student Government Academy. That is a similar program for high school juniors within the county.
Forsyth County Manager David McKee says that continued county success is dependent upon residents taking a vested interest in how their government works.
McKee addes, “Our Citizens’ Academy and Student Government Academy participants are leading the charge in helping Forsyth County remain a great place to live, work and play.”
Participants get to experience first-hand how a local government functions and how they, as residents, can get the most out of it.
Student Government Academy participants will share similar experiences over eight classes scheduled from September of 2023 through April of 2024.
