Council Member Attends FBI Youth Academy

On August 12 Council member Grant Strobel attended the FBI Teen Academy hosted by Little Rock FBI’s Field Office Community Outreach Program. The academy is designed to promote an educational experience that will provide students with valuable leadership training and a greater understanding of the FBI.
The Teen Academy was comprised of top-notch students from a variety of high schools in the state of Arkansas. Any Arkansas school could nominate 2 individuals, but only 25 were selected statewide. Qualifications were for the participant to have completed their freshman year, have a GPA of 3.0, possess qualities of leadership, scholastic achievement and be good citizens. Nominees had to write an essay of 250 words expressing their interest in the program and how it will enhance their future.

Grant is a 10th grader at East Campus.
