Major congratulations to Sam O'Hara of Manhattan Christian High School for being selected as one of four Montana students to participate in the U.S. Department of Education's Presidential 1776 Award competition!! Students from across the country recently gathered at regional competitions to demonstrate their knowledge of civics and history. Sam's advice for his fellow citizens is spot on: "it's our responsibility as Americans to know the founding principles...not just read, but understand, the thought process behind our Founding Fathers." 🇺🇸

Had the chance to meet an impressive young man this morning on the KSKY Morning Show!

Sam O'Hara, a senior at Manhattan Christian, recently competed in the Freedom 250 Civics Test after earning an invitation that only a select few received. More than 9,000 students took the original exam, and Sam was among the top participants chosen to advance to the competition.

And you'll never guess who called him while he was at the competition . . . 👇
