project, which is jointly sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary. This program was created by
Legionnaires in 1936 and has been the model for other states. Students at Rossford High School compete
in the Americanism Test each year under the supervision of the school’s Social Studies Department.
McIntosh is the daughter of Ron and Lisa McIntosh of Perrysburg. She is the sophomore class treasurer, is
a member of the Rossford Student Council, and a member of the varsity band.
