The Kentucky Youth Assembly (KYA) is a 3-day experiential learning program in which students serve as part of a model state government. KYA offers students the opportunity to learn about a wide variety of issues, develop critical thinking skills, and articulate their beliefs while engaging constructively with their peers from around the Commonwealth.

Students will travel to Louisville in December to present their bills, run for office and problem solve with students around the state.  They also will travel to Frankfort to tour the capitol building and learn about Kentucky government.  The expense of the trip runs approximately around $325 per student.  which covers bus transportation, 2 nights of lodging and some meals.  Students who join CCMS KYA must attend weekly meetings, be willing to participate in events and preparation, and have acceptable school behavior in order to attend the 3 day KYA convention in December.
