DCHS rising senior Jake Odom has been named as a delegate to the annual Tennessee American Legion Boys State, to be held May 22-28, at Tenn. Tech in Cookeville. He is the son of Lisa Barnes of Smithville.
Boys State is a practical experience for young men where delegates put into practice the theories of government through actual participation in city, county and state government organized as a “Mythical 51st State.” Approximately 600 young men representing every county in Tenn. will attend Boys State this year.
