Congratulations to Sheridan students Carter Lowery, Joshua Tolliver and Aiden Morgan for representing our community this week at Arkansas Boys State at University of Central Arkansas!

From left to right: Carter Lowery, Joshua Tolliver and Aiden Morgan.

Carter was elected as one of three senators for Womack County, and Joshua was elected Justice of the Peace for Cotton County during the week’s activities.

Arkansas Boys State gives students the opportunity to learn firsthand about leadership, government and public service through a hands-on experience in state and local government. We are proud of these young men for representing Sheridan so well at this year’s program!
