🌟 Potter Spotlight 🌟It’s a wrap on 88th session of Buckeye Boys State 2026! 🇺🇸🏛️

After an incredible week at Miami University, our Potter delegates are returning home with valuable leadership experience, new friendships, and a deeper understanding of civic responsibility and public service.

👏 Congratulations to:
📍 Miles Reynolds
📍 Andrew Dalton
📍 Hunter Estell

Throughout the week, students from across Ohio stepped into roles as mayors, legislators, judges, and citizens, learning firsthand how government works while developing leadership, communication, and teamwork skills. They came together with a shared commitment to serving something greater than themselves and left inspired to make a difference in their communities.

Buckeye Boys State’s theme, #AWeekToShapeALifetime, truly captures the impact of this experience. From campaigning and elections to debating legislation and solving real-world challenges, our students represented East Liverpool with pride and professionalism.

We are incredibly proud of Miles, Andrew, and Hunter for embracing this opportunity and for serving as outstanding ambassadors for the Potter community. 💙🤍

A special thank you to American Legion Post 374, Sons of The American Legion, Mr. Ernie Cross, and Mrs. Dawn Pipo for their continued support in making this life-changing experience possible.

Welcome home, Potters and congratulations on a week well spent! 🎉 taken in Miami University of Ohio by @ohiobbs

As we close out another incredible week at Buckeye Boys State, we are filled with pride, hope, and deep gratitude. Over the past week, we witnessed young leaders step into roles as mayors, legislators, judges, and citizens — each one learning the power of civic responsibility, service, and working across differences.

While the colors are retired, the Buckeye Boys State flag remains on stage and salutes you, the delegates of the 88th Session of the American Legion Buckeye Boys State, as you depart from Miami University.

To the delegates: Your energy, curiosity, and courage to lead gives us faith in the future of our country. You came together from all across Ohio, united by a desire to serve something greater than yourselves. Your example reminds us that leadership grounded in integrity and purpose will always matter.

To the Legionnaires, staff, and counselors who made this week possible: Thank you for showing up, sharing your wisdom, and investing into the next generation of public servants.

Help us spread the word for the 2027 program by speaking to your underclassmen and by having them follow us here and on Twitter and Instagram @OhioBBS.

To the future BBS class of 2027, we will see you in 356 days on June 13, 2027 for the 89th Session. But who’s counting?

For the last time: Gentlemen, this assembly is adjourned. We truly hope that this has been #AWeekToShapeALifetime.

It's not every day that you get to meet the Governor of Ohio, but at Buckeye Boys State, it does seem to happen every year! Thank you to @govmikedewine for taking the time to speak with delegates today, and for meeting with members of Governor Jensvold's cabinet and for press gaggling with the @bbshetuck correspondents. For his dedication and support for BBS, we were proud to induct Governor DeWine into the BBS Hall of Fame, and sincerely hope he applies to join our staff next year. by @ohiobbs

Legion Joe is BACK, this time interviewing Governor Jensvold. Tune in to hear about this Administration's top priorities, their back-and-forth with the General Assembly, and why the Gov. thinks he has never in his life had an experience remotely close to Buckeye Boys State. by @ohiobbs
