Welcome to the Junior State of America (JSA)

On high school campuses across the country, there are students concerned with what is happening around them -- students who are interested in politics and government, foreign affairs, the law, and education. The Junior State of America (JSA) was created by and for these students. In a world of endless problems and conflicting opinions, the art of debate is a very valuable tool. J.S.A recognizes this and makes debate an integral part of its program.

What makes JSA so unique is that students organize every aspect of organization, all the way from the chapter level to state and national administration. The student leaders, elected by their fellow JSA members, plan and execute all of the conventions, conferences, and political awareness events held by the Junior State.

By becoming part of JSA, students will develop effective leadership skills at school and have the opportunity of attending overnight debate conventions.

Members also have the opportunity to attend The Junior Statesmen Summer School which offers a challenging, dynamic academic experience for students with a passion for politics and government. This takes place during the summer, where 1500 outstanding high school students converge on the campuses of Stanford, Yale, Princeton, Georgetown, and Northwestern Universities to immerse themselves in politics and debate.

The club meets on Tuesdays from 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm. For those who are inexperienced in the field of debate the club would be a great opportunity to improve on necessary debate, and public speaking skills.
