The first annual Indiana High School Republicans (IHSR) Presidents’ Day Dinner was a stellar success. Chairman Chris Elmore and Vice-Chairman Nicholas Yax hit the ground running with their first event for IHSR.

This year, guest speakers included State Representative Chuck Goodrich, State Auditor Tera Klutz, and Speaker-Elect Todd Huston. The organization’s goal through this dinner was to bring out supporters of the organization to be updated about the group’s successes and future plans.

Chairman Elmore addressed the crowd, recapping the last year of the organization during his tenure, with an emphasis on IHSR’s club growth and achievement of corporate status.

Elmore also announced that the group plans on becoming “the most involved high school political organization ever” during this 2020 election cycle, and wants to continue building a community for students who feel their views alienate them from their peers.

The Indiana High School Republicans are currently planning out next year’s dinner, set for mid-February 2021. Learn more at ihsrepublicans.org.
