Mesrobian Students Attend Junior State of America Convention

Armenian Mesrobian High School students attended the Junior State of America's Spring State 2015 convention on Friday, April 10 through Sunday, April 12.  It's the final and largest gathering of Southern California JSA chapters of the year.
The Junior State of America (JSA) is for "students concerned with what is happening around them – students who are interested in politics and government, foreign affairs, the law and education. The Junior State of America (JSA) was created by and for these young people. Since its founding in 1934, more than 500,000 student members have become active, informed citizens through JSA."
