Travel: Mackinac Island, 1 of 2

2022-06-16 - Michigan - Photo by Pen
Mackinac Island sits in Lake Huron, about 10 hours north of Columbia, between Michigan's Upper and Lower peninsulas. Mackinac Island State Park, with trails, woods and the limestone Arch Rock formation, covers most of the island.

Cars aren't allowed on Mackinac Island, save for a lone fire engine in case of emergency. Residents travel mostly on foot and by bicycle, while tourists are moved between landmarks on the island in horse-drawn trailers.

ACHS student Briley Burns has been accepted to the Kentucky Governor's Scholars Program for Summer 2022. Briley will head to Centre College in Danville in late June, where her area of study will be Psychology and Behavioral Studies.

In order to participate in the exclusive five-week Governor's Scholars Program, students must be nominated by their high schools and then compete on a state-wide level. Selection for the program is highly competitive, with an application process similar to that of prestigious colleges and universities.

Briley is the daughter of Randy and Miranda Burns of Columbia, and the granddaughter of David and Ellen Boils from Campbellsville.
