HARRISBURG– The Pennsylvania departments of State and Education announced that Fannett-Metal High School in Franklin County won Governor’s Civic Engagement Awards (GCEA) during the 2022-23 school year.
Fannett-Metal High School in Franklin County won the Gold Level Award for registering to vote at least 85 percent of their eligible students.
“These prestigious awards honor high school students who engage their peers in the electoral process and empower them by ensuring their voice will be heard in determining the future of our country,” Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt said.
In addition, 28 students from across the commonwealth won Student Poll Worker Awards for participating in a voter registration event at their school and serving as a poll worker in their communities on Election Day.
“Those students who served as poll workers on Election Day played an especially important role in our democracy by enabling others to vote,” Schmidt added.
“The GCEA program provides our students with an excellent, hands-on experience in civics education,” Secretary of Education Dr. Khalid N. Mumin said. “Congratulations to this year’s winners, and thanks to all the school administrators, teachers, and parents who supported their efforts.”
