Two Benjamin Logan High School students have been selected to attend the 80th annual session of American Legion Auxiliary Buckeye Girls State, held Sunday, June 7, through Saturday, June 13, 2026, at Bowling Green State University.
Elizabeth Rosebrook, daughter of Ken and Amber Rosebrook, and Junah Tingley, daughter of Jason and Jacqueline Tingley, will represent Benjamin Logan High School at this year’s conference.
The students are sponsored locally by the Belle Center American Legion Auxiliary of Willard Stout Post No. 266.
For the fourth consecutive year, Bowling Green State University will host the American Legion Auxiliary Buckeye Girls State conference, bringing more than 600 high school students and staff members to campus for a weeklong residential experience focused on city, county, and state government.
As one of the largest Girls State conferences in the nation, Buckeye Girls State uses a nonpartisan, nonpolitical approach to teach rising Ohio high school seniors about the privileges, rights, and responsibilities of good citizenship in American government.
During Buckeye Girls State, participants, known as delegates, attend government workshops, take part in legislative sessions, and learn about campaigning, party rallies, debating, and voting.
Delegates are selected by American Legion Auxiliary Units across Ohio based on leadership qualities, academic achievement, and interest in government and current events.
Buckeye Girls State is sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary of Ohio.
