Russ Carpenter, mayor of Richmond Hill and U.S. Government teacher at Richmond Hill High School, accompanied six U.S. government students from RHHS to the Timber Trail voting precinct on Wednesday morning, October 30.
In addition to modelling Georgia’s Educational Standards for Social Studies, Carpenter believes that the trip helps show students the significance of civic participation--of which voting is a “big part”.
Students, from left to right: Jaxson Wagner, Connor Merritt, Samuel London, Alyssa Dorsey, Lydia Skelton, and Santonio Rio.
