REISTERSTOWN, Md. —
It's not your typical school trip to the nation's capital. This week a group of students are spending an intense few days in Washington, D.C. learning about the workings of the federal government, touring the monuments and meeting with the nation's leaders.
Franklin High School student Jamie Roa was selected for the trip and talked about what it means to her to be involved.
"I cannot describe what it means. It's just an honor to represent the state of Maryland, to represent Baltimore County and Reisterstown. It's just such a prestigious program that only a few kids -- only 104 kids from across the nation -- get to participate in," Roa said.
On Friday, the students are expected to tour the White House and take a picture with President Donald Trump.
