Senators Collins, King Welcome Cape Elizabeth High School Students to Washington, D.C.

Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King welcomed high school students from Cape Elizabeth to Washington, D.C., yesterday. The annual trip by the AP Government class allows the students to meet their Senators and Congressmen, attend congressional hearings, and tour the Capitol building. 

“We are delighted to welcome these students from Cape Elizabeth High School to our nation’s capital,” said Senators Collins and King in a joint statement. “D.C. is filled with educational opportunities, and we are glad that these bright young Mainers have the chance to augment their studies by seeing the legislative branch firsthand.”

The students were accompanied by Cape Elizabeth Principal Jeff Shedd, Social Studies Department Chair Ted Jordan, and Technology Integrators Ginger Raspiller and Carolyn Young.
