Five Okeene High School students attended the 84th session of Oklahoma American Legion Boys State at Rogers State University May 25- June 1, 2024. It was a historic year with the largest population attending. Delegates conducted local government elections while sheltering from an F-3 tornado which struck Claremore and the surrounding communities late in the evening on the day of their arrival. Reportedly, the 320 delegates and 100 staff/volunteers were safely in the underground tornado shelter within 6 minutes of the first alarm. Luckily, the university was not in the path of destruction but was without power intermittently throughout the week from the storm. Despite the challenges, programs continued as delegates studied the government process through classes and simulations of government in action including mock legislature, state executive offices, court system, and emergency management. Delegates also participated in teambuilding activities competing in basketball, combat soccer, marksmanship, volleyball, flickerball, eSports, and an Academic Bowl. Congratulations to Diego Lopez, Destry Swaim, Edan Chasteen, Meade Brickman, and Wyatt Graham for representing Okeene High School at this year’s Boys State.
