Gloucester American Legion Post 75 sent six Gloucester High School students to the 24th annual American Legion/Virginia State Police Junior Law Program, held in July in Chesterfield.

Cadets Abby Glock, Patric Graham, Taylor Lovelady, Khadijah L. Payne, Alexander M. Palus and Cody Terzich-Waters, all GHS students entering their senior year, are among 36 of the newest graduates of the program.

Lovelady also received the Physical Fitness Award for females during the program.

During the week-long program, cadets experience a life similar to a trooper-in-training. Activities include daily room inspections and instruction by state police troopers on department operations, crime scene investigations, officer survival, undercover operations, driver improvement, scuba training, defensive tactics and firearms safety.

The American Legion selects and sponsors the students to represent each of its 17 Virginia districts.
