Mr. Kathrein and Mrs. Rice took sixteen students from LHS to participate in the Youth in Government Conference at the Capital last week. This is the seventh year that Lexington has participated in the conference. Over 200 students from around Ohio participated. The students were paired up and they spent the school year preparing bills to present at the State Capitol House on March 21 and March 22, 2024. Darcie R., served as the President of the Senate, and Jacob H., served as a lobbyist. All seven of the Lexington's bills passed the committee phase and were passed in the House and Senate. Two of which were signed into law by the Youth Governor.

Lexington received several top honors for their hard work and dedication to civic involvement. The event culminated in student elections. JayByx M. was elected to serve as the 2025 Youth Governor. Katya P. was elected to be the 2025 Secretary of State. Scott B. was selected as the top Senator. Darcie R. was selected as the top Committee Chair. Jacob H. was selected as the top Lobbyist.

In addition, Darcie R., Scott B., and JayByx M. were chosen to represent Ohio at the Conference on National Affairs this summer, which is held in North Carolina.
