A local Students for Life chapter from Gibson Southern was nominated and voted for Best New Group of the Year.
At the start of the 2022-2023 school year, a group of students from Gibson Southern High School started their own Students for Life chapter. Since its creation, this group has been active in the pro-life community by organizing item drives, volunteering at local pregnancy centers, and attending marches in Indianapolis and Washington, DC.
In late May, the group announced their qualification for top 3 Best New Groups of the Year. Voting for 1st place was open until June 15th. The winner was announced during the National Celebrate Life Day festivities on June 24th, the one-year anniversary of the Dobbs ruling, in Washington DC. The Gibson Southern group won the 1st place award due to their commitment to creating a pro-life community.

Parmer is also the 2023 Right to Life of Southwest Indiana Oratory Contest winner. She will be presenting her speech at our annual Banquet on August 10th.
