Columbus High School welcomed Congressman Mike Flood and other federal leaders for Federal Government Day on Thursday, September 25.
With the help of Social Studies Instructors Mr. Nathan Coan, Mr. Jon Shea, and Mr. Zack Wayman, Columbus High School was able to have students hear about the roles and career opportunities in the areas of the federal courts, FBI, National Weather Service, Library of Congress, Veterans Affairs, Census Bureau, and the Small Business Administration.
The opportunity for students to engage with federal government officials, including Congressman Mike Flood, has the potential to increase civic engagement and foster a deeper understanding of the federal government's role. CHS students have attended Platte County Government Day for years, and the opportunity to have a government day that focuses on the organizations at the federal level can grow their understanding of the role of government and the career opportunities that exist.
CHS thanks the federal agencies that took time out of their schedules to present to our students, and we look forward to working with them in the future to offer additional opportunities to our students.
