CONGRESSMAN MIKE BISHOP VISITS RHS
The purpose of Mr. Bishop’s visit to RHS was to engage and connect students to the political process. Having the opportunity to meet with and ask questions candidly is so important. My goal is to make the content come to life, so students can create direct connections through memorable experiences.
In order for our republic and democratic beliefs to continue, we need to value the exchange of intellectual thought and difference of opinion. We as citizens are so fortunate to have the ability to reach out to our representatives to ask them questions, and in this experience receive a direct answer. On the topic of knowing who represents you, your party, your state and even region of country. As our nation is so vast and diverse, it is important to understand and hear from those who create legislation that impact us on a daily level. A great point of pride is Mr. Bishop is a product of Rochester Community Schools, there we can see the value of pride in excellence.
