How to Become a CAGS High School

Sponsorship is the Key

If you are a California High School advisor, counselor or principal with questions about how your school can get involved with California Girls State by having a delegate represent your school, you need to answer the following questions.

Is there a local American Legion Auxiliary Unit in your city? If you don't know, contact the Girls State Chairman.

Would your school student body funds be able to afford the fees (currently $400) should the local Unit be unable to financially support the delegate?

Do you feel there are at least five qualified candidates among your female, Junior class students?

If you could answer YES to the questions, contact the ALA Girls State Chairman to begin the conversation about becoming a Girls State Delegate High School.
