A senior at Sturgeon Bay High School was one of only 33 students in the state to recently participate in the 2021 Wisconsin Senate Scholar Program.  Maggie Stephens was accepted into the program last March and learned about the state legislature through two weeks of virtual meetings.  She shares the experience she had in Madison last week when she visited the state capitol and observed a Wisconsin Senate session in person.

The Senate Scholar Program is an intensive and highly competitive educational program that offers students the opportunity to gain knowledge of the legislature’s role in passing laws, policy development, and constituent relations.
