In February, nine Spalding High School students attended the Center for Civic Engagement’s Youth in Government Expo at St. Simons Island. They participated in five specialized academies: Diplomacy, National Security, Media, Local Government and Cybersecurity. Anna Foster, Kolton Stutes and Mary Francis Noble focused on leadership and local governance. They explored local government careers, learned about decision-making processes and participated in simulations. Anna Foster received the state's top award for "Ethics in Local Government" and earned a leadership position at next year's Youth Assembly in Atlanta. Rhoda Osemweakhae participated in the National Security Academy, where she participated in simulations that challenged her with threat assessments, intelligence analysis and crisis management. Rondell White, Michael Oliver, Kayden Skelton, Sam Godat and Jon Walker Blalock represented Israel, Iraq, and the Czech Republic in the Diplomacy Academy, also known as Model United Nations. They studied diplomacy careers and leadership styles, wrote and presented resolutions, debated and voted on them in committees and the assembly. Overall, all nine students gained a deeper understanding of government operations at local, state, national and international levels. They also gained a greater understanding of their strengths and weaknesses and explored future career paths.

Tonight at 7 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m., Griffin High and Spalding High Students are performing a live musical in the Griffin Auditorium . "Urinetown" is a satirical musical set in a world where a severe water shortage leads to the outlawing of private toilets and the establishment of a government managed pay-per-use public amenity system controlled by the corrupt Urine Good Company (UGC). The story follows a young man who leads a revolution against this oppressive system, aiming to achieve free access to the public amenities.
