General Information
concerning Tar Heel Girls State


This information is designed to help you cope with dorm life during the week. Use your judgment and common courtesy with your roommate, in the dorm, and in your meetings. Please bring your sense of humor because it helps to keep smiling -- even at yourself!

  1. Room keys are issued on Sunday. Take care of it and return it on Saturday. A replacement fee of $30 will be charged if you lose your key. Do not bring valuables.  Tar Heel Girls State nor The American Legion Auxiliary will be responsible for lost or stolen items.
  2. Keep you room neat and clean. Turn off all lights and electrical appliances (curling iron, etc.) when you leave the room. The dorm is air conditioned.
  3. Please keep your voice and sound levels low, especially at night. Again, simple courtesy is the key.
  4. Food can attract ants and other bugs. Keep all food in closed tins or plastic containers. Take care to throw away all trash.
  5. Sick Call is each morning before breakfast. Notify your city counselor or other staff person if you are ill. You may not stay in the dorm without permission from the staff. A housemother will help you get medical care if you need it or escort you back to the dorm if necessary. This policy is for your protection and safety while at Girls State. Notify a staff person if you become ill at any point in the day.
  6. Please remember that North Carolina state law prohibits smoking by people under 18 years of age. Therefore, smoking will not be allowed at Girls State.
