Eastwood Christian School is pleased to recognize senior Joshua Sullivan, who received honors at the Seventy-first Annual American Legion Alabama Boys State.  He was elected to the Senate, where he wrote and debated bills of importance to all Alabama citizens.  He was also awarded the Most Outstanding Senator.  Organizers said that Josh was a credit to his community and high school.  Alabama Boys State is a leadership program for young men who have completed their junior year of high school and are expected to be campus leaders during their senior year.  It provides delegates with a working knowledge of how our government functions on the city, county and state levels. Acceptance into Alabama Boys State is a privilege and granted by invitation only.  Delegates are selected by their school faculty and community leaders. Alabama Boys State is directed by the retired Judge Pete Johnson of Birmingham, the Assistant Directors are Judge Joel Laird of Anniston and Ted Capland of Pickensville.

Josh is the son of Eddie and Terri Sullivan of Pike Road.
