(KAIR)--Local High school students will have a chance to learn how local government operates during the annual celebration of Government Day, scheduled to take place Tuesday morning at the Atchison County Courthouse.
Commission Chair Jeff Schuele says that Seniors from Maur Hill-Mount Academy, ACCHS, and Atchison High School will hear a presentation by the Kansas Association of Counties before being split into groups. Each group will spend time with a county department such as the treasurer's office or Sheriff's Department, or an elected official.
Schuele says involvement by the Kansas Association of Counties has increased interest in the event. Nearly four years ago, only about sixty to eighty students would attend, but in the last three plus years, attendance has risen to well over a hundred.
The first Atchison County Government Day took place over fifty years ago.
