A Governor Mifflin High School student represented the 127th Legislative District during a special session of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives held Wednesday at Congress Hall in Philadelphia.
State Rep. Manuel Guzman Jr. selected Kuljeet Sangha, a 17-year-old student from Shillington, to serve as the district’s youth delegate for the session, which commemorated the 250th anniversaries of the Declaration of Independence and the Pennsylvania Constitution.
The session was held at Congress Hall, where lawmakers voted on two resolutions commemorating the anniversaries.
Sangha joined more than 80 students from across Pennsylvania as part of a civic education initiative held in partnership with America250PA. The program was designed to give students firsthand experience with state government and democracy while exploring Pennsylvania’s role in the nation’s founding history.
“Kuljeet is a true example of the dedication and leadership we hope to see in the next generation,” Guzman said. “His dedication to his school and community, combined with his ambition for the future, made him the ideal choice to represent our district at this historic session.”
At Governor Mifflin, Sangha serves as class president, National Honor Society co-president, soccer and tennis team captain, TSA TEAMS captain and student school board representative. He is also involved with Mifflin Mentors and currently serves as an intern at RPA Engineering and the O’Pake Institute.
“It’s an incredible honor to represent my community at Congress Hall and learn firsthand how our state government works,” Sangha said. “This experience has deepened my appreciation for Pennsylvania’s role in shaping our nation’s history, and I’m grateful to Rep. Guzman for this opportunity.”
Sangha plans to pursue a double major in aerospace or mechanical engineering and business, with hopes of attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His long-term goal is to establish an engineering consulting firm.
“I have no doubt that great things are ahead for Kuljeet, and I look forward to seeing all that he accomplishes,” Guzman said.
