Samantha Johnson, 2006 American Legion Girls’ State Representative
The Tehachapi Unit 221 of the American Legion Auxiliary is pleased to announce that Samantha Johnson has been selected as this year’s delegate to attend Girls State. Samantha is a junior at Tehachapi High School and will be joining over 500 other high school juniors on July 2 through July 8 at Fresno State University.
The main objectives of the Girls State program is to educate the delegates about elective system of the local county and state government, develop leadership, instill a greater understanding of the American traditions, and to stimulate a desire to maintain our democratic government.
Samantha is active in her school government, sports, and theatre. She is the daughter of Scott and Pamela Johnson of Tehachapi.
The girls were selected by the school for an interview by the American Legion Auxiliary due to their academic accomplishments and all-around involvement in the high school and community.
The girls selected for interview were: Sky Martin (selected as alternate), Maureen Recalde (selected second alternate), Alisha Adhikari, Katelynn Camp, and Kathleen McCulough.
