Senator highlights Constitution Day at Tharptown

By Bart Moss for the FCT

Sen. Larry Stutts visited Tharptown High School last week to help the school celebrate Constitution Day.

Stutts spoke to the 360-plus students who make up Tharptown High School about the importance of the Constitution and told some stories that don’t usually make it into school history textbooks.

“I was proud to be able to visit Tharptown,” said Stutts. “I have had many opportunities to visit the school, and I’ve always come away impressed with how polite and well-behaved they are. It says a lot about the students and their parents.”

Stutts brought pocket Constitutions for the students and met with the school’s Student Government Association after the event was over. He spoke to the SGA about the importance of being good leaders in the school and in the community.

“We were happy Sen. Stutts could come speak to our school and our Student Government Association,” said Student Government President Linda Bahena.
