CRAFTSBURY — Two ninth-grade students from Craftsbury Academy have been selected to represent Vermont on the Gilder Lehrman Student Advisory Council.
Ada Allen and Jo Lander will join more than 200 students from across the United States and internationally on the council beginning in March.
The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, a nonprofit organization dedicated to K-12 history education, created the Student Advisory Council in 2014.
The council consists of high-achieving middle and high school students interested in promoting knowledge and understanding of American history.
Members are selected through a competitive application process to join what the institute describes as an “elite community of like-minded individuals.”
