Benjamin Logan High School proudly congratulates its students who participated in the 2024 Buckeye Boys State program.
These outstanding individuals have joined over 90,000 alumni since the program’s inception in 1936.
Camden Spriggs shared his experience, stating, “Buckeye Boys State was an amazing week that for certain will be beneficial to me for the rest of my life. I had a fantastic time and would like to thank Belle Center Post 266 for the opportunity.”
Noah Stanford reflected on his time at the program, “While my time at Buckeye Boys State felt too short, I know that I made huge progress in not only myself as a person but in my love for my country. It has been made evident to me that patriotism is one of the most important aspects of our great nation. I would highly encourage anyone, even if you are not interested in government, to apply. The program is truly much more.”
Bryden Morris expressed his initial doubts and subsequent appreciation, “When I first heard about Buckeye Boys State I thought it was just a boring mock government; however, by the end of the week I learned what it truly meant to be an American patriot and leader. I would recommend to any underclassmen to accept the amazing opportunity to participate in future American Legion Buckeye Boys State.”

About Buckeye Boys State: Since 1936, Buckeye Boys State has provided young men with a unique educational experience, focusing on the operations of state government and the responsibilities of citizenship.
