WHY:             Warren Easton Charter High School students will be using real voting booths loaned by the State of Louisiana to vote for members of the homecoming court for each grade level and for Mr. and Miss Easton. The court will be presented at the Homecoming Dance and then at the game in October.  As a part of the voting all students will receive information on “real world” voting from the school’s Social Studies Department. There will also be an on-campus voter registration drive conducted by Links, Inc. for every student eligible to vote by December 8, 2018.

“This is a fun and educational way to teach our students about the importance of voting and civic engagement,” said Warren Easton Charter CEO Mervin Jackson. “Students can see firsthand the effect their vote can have in an election.”
