Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes addresses honors-level GALRE students at Steinert High School.
The Government and Law Related Experiences class at Hamilton’s Steinert High School took welcomed Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes as the final guest lecturer on June 9. The county executive has been a frequent speaker to the class, which draws representatives from all facets of the government community, giving the students a chance to have open dialogue with local officials.
Students in the honors-level course, taught by Ms. Tracey Quinn, had the chance to ask the county official a variety of questions from how he entered politics and government to how the county was able to successfully reduce its homeless population by 73 percent.
In wishing the students luck in the next chapter of their education, Hughes said, “It would be a great thrill if any of these inquisitive young adults were inspired enough to consider a career in public service and become part of the solution.”
