The American Legion has selected Jacob San Agustin of Washington High School to attend the American Legion Boys Nation in Washington, D.C., this month.
San Agustin is one of two delegates selected from the state based on leadership skills, academic record and activity at American Legion Evergreen Boys State.
The weeklong program introduces students to the structure and function of the federal government while combining lectures and forums with visits to federal agencies, institutions, memorials and historical spots.
San Agustin won a $1,000 scholarship.
