Kristin Sutton represents Montgomery Catholic at Alabama's Girls State

Kristin Sutton has been chosen to represent Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School at the 2006 session of Alabama Girls State, held on the campus of Troy University in Troy June 4-9. For one week, she became a citizen in an imaginary state, taking part in the political life of her community, primarily through campaigning for and electing city, county, and state offices. Kristin learned about the operation of government by participating in party caucuses and through the election process. Well-known speakers and other state, county, and city officials visited with and enlightened the young women on their civic responsibilities. Kristin campaigned for and won her party’s primary nomination for State Treasurer. Kristin Sutton, daughter of Bill and Liz Sutton, was selected to attend Alabama Girls State because of her outstanding participation in many activities both at school and in our community including Key Club, Pep Club, Respect Life Club, National Honor Society, Government Club, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and Student Government Association.
