The Hearst Foundation names only two Indiana delegates to the Senate Youth Program, and this time around, HSE High School Senior Brooke Hanes will be one of them.  Brooke will head to Washington DC during March of 2016 for an all expense paid trip, which will likely include meeting some very important people.  Brooke will also receive a $5,000 college scholarship from the foundation.

Her resume is too long for listing here, but some of the highlights include being a member of the We the People team and the Law & Government Academy.  She is on track to earn an AP Capstone diploma upon graduation this spring.  She is a member of the National Honor Society.

Brooke started her own business, Brookie’s cookies, where she earned money at a farmer’s market baked goods stand.
