Savana Griffin Selected as PCA’s Girls State Representative

Savana Griffin was selected to represent Prattville Christian Academy at the American Legion Auxiliary Alabama Girls State program in June 2017. Girls State is an 80 year old program designed to develop leadership skills, confidence and an action-based understanding of our state’s governmental processes.

“Girls State was an almost indescribable experience for me,” said Griffin. “It was no doubt the most amazing and rewarding experience of my summer. It was incredible hearing from some of Alabama’s most influential people. Getting the chance to talk with Alabama’s political and business leaders helped me realize that the future is ours – we have the chance to change our future into what we desire it to be.”

Girls State gives student delegates the opportunity to create a mock government with elected city, county, and state officials. Griffin campaigned for the position of Lieutenant Governor – the second highest position in their imaginary government. While she won in her primary, she was narrowly defeated in the state’s general election. The highlight of the program was a visit by Alabama Governor Kay Ivey who spoke to the student delegates about leadership.

“I’m so excited to bring all that I’ve learned back to school and the people around me,” said Griffin. “I’m incredibly thankful for having this opportunity!”
