The Iowa Department of Education wishes to congratulate two outstanding students selected to represent Iowa at the 51st U.S. Senate Youth Program in Washington, D.C. March 9-16, 2013. The program is merit-based and highly competitive. The two delegates are Syed Umar Farooq, a senior from Gilbert High School and Cormac Broeg, a senior at Williamsburg High School. Iowa’s two delegates will spend a week in Washington, D.C., meet with high-ranking government officials and receive a $5,000 college scholarship.

Two alternates were also selected. They are Jacob Ihnen, a senior from Sheldon High School, and Raymond Boyd, a junior from Missouri Valley High School. Congratulations to Syed, Cormac, Jacob, and Raymond! Visit the U.S. Senate Youth Program site for additional information.
