Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.) announced South Dakota’s third annual Congressional App Challenge (CAC), an app competition for middle and high school students.
Every June, hundreds of high school students who just completed their junior year are selected by the American Legion Auxiliary to participate in Boys State and Girls State. I had the opportunity to attend Boys State when I was in high school, and it has had a lasting impact on me. I was honored to be able to speak at Boys State and Girls State again this year and met some of our state’s next generation leaders in government. This year was even more special because my oldest son, Max, was at Boys State.

Johnson opened his talk in the Aalfs Auditorium by noting how great of a leadership opportunity Girls State is. “It’s one of the greatest programs to attend in South Dakota,” he said.
Applications for my U.S. Service Academy nomination consideration opened this week for the Class of 2028.
Service Academies are undergraduate institutions that educate and train the next officers in our Armed Forces. Academies are different than a traditional college experience. They focus on leadership, both the physical and mental aspects of military training, and preparing students for a career as an officer.
