Sweetwater High School Students Get Involved in Local Government

The Sweetwater government will be taken over on Wednesday, Dec. 3.

The Sweetwater High School government class students have decided to shadow different government officials.

"At the beginning of the year, we went through different ideas for our project," Hanna Hunter said. "The idea came up to take over the government."

Twenty-two students will separate into groups of two or three and shadow different jobs. Students will learn how the fire department, police department, mayor’s office and many more function. The point of the project is to help the students understand the tasks at hand, in each office, so that the city and county are run properly and function correctly.
