The Hilton Stone American Legion Post 279 is proud to announce the five outstanding boys from the Cannon County High School who have been selected to attend Boy's State 2016, at the Tennessee Tech University, in Cookeville, Tennessee. High Schools in Tennessee have traditionally sent one Boy and one Girl from their school. Post 279 along with the teachers at the Cannon County High School determined that there are a lot of outstanding students in our school. So we started selecting 2, then 3, and for 2016 we have selected 5 truly outstanding boys. Each boy has a sponsor or a group of sponsors who furnish the costs for them to attend the one week of demanding challenges. And if one notices the citizens of Woodbury and Cannon County who attended Boys State/Girls State, they are all very successful members of our community. The Hilton Stone American Legion Post 279 is proud to sponsor Boys State and proud to announce the 5 outstanding boys selected for Boys State 2016.
