Rock County Christian School is honored to host a Presidential Candidates’ Forum on Thursday, October 16 at 8:10 a.m. Representatives from each different presidential campaign have been invited to attend. Our goal is inform students of the importance of informed voting and to make them aware of the crucial role of young voters in our political system.
Confirmed guests include:
Jeff Schultz – Republican Party Candidate John McCain
Tiffany Henry – Democratic Party Candidate Barak Obama
Briana Nestler – Independent Candidate Ralph Nader
Robert Bellard – Constitution Party Candidate Chuck Baldwin
Joseph Kexel – Libertarian Party Candidate Bob Barr
*Other candidates and parties were also invited but have yet to confirm their appearance.
The forum will feature a two minute opening statement from each representative and will be followed by questions asked directly from high school students. The goal of this event is a cordial discussion of the issues and topics important to young people today. Moderating the event will be RCCS’s new government teacher, Kevin Thompson.
“It is important for these young people to realize the issues at stake in this election are issues that directly effect their lives right now,” said Mr. Thompson. “Once they see that their voices are being heard by the political establishment, our hope is they begin to take their role in this process seriously and encourage others to do the same. That is how real change begins.”
Rock County Christian School exists as a coeducational college preparatory day school that encompasses preschool through 12th grade. The school is operated by a nonprofit, interdenominational, evangelical Christian parent support organization and governed by an elected school board.
