Ansonia teen attends Boys State

    American Legion Post 50 in Ansonia submitted Patrick Coyle of Ansonia as its high school candidate for the 2012 Boys State Leadership Seminar held last week at Eastern Connecticut State University in Willimantic.

     He performed governmental jobs and held different responsibilities throughout the week. 

    Following a week’s worth of practical setting, he was awarded one of the highest awards, "the American Citizenship Medal," for his achievements throughout the week and for his personal life experiences.

    Coyle continues to volunteer in many veterans' groups and maintains a 4.0 grade point average at Emmett O’Brien Technical High School in Ansonia, where he will be a senior in the fall. Coyle is applying to military academies for his post-secondary education.
