2026 Youth Tour sends area students to Washington D.C.

Tipmont students on the 2025 Indiana Youth Tour visit the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.

In June 2026, 15 area high-school juniors joined the 60-student Indiana Youth Tour delegation to Washington, D.C.

Students visited numerous monuments and memorials, met with Indiana legislators on Capitol Hill, and interacted with students from other states.

Applications for the 2027 Youth Tour will open in December. Watch Indiana Connection and the Tipmont Youth Tour web page for more information.

Away from the office, you’ll find Rob working on his golf swing, jump shot, or hope for a Purdue basketball national title – all futile endeavors.
