Governor Kay Ivey will deliver her 2019 State of the State address from the old House chamber in the State Capitol at approximately 6:30 p.m. CST Tuesday.

Watch:

Ivey’s special guests are Arrington Harper and Harper’s grandmother, Magnolia Cook.

Harper is from Jefferson County. She is a senior at the Alabama School of Fine Arts and plans to double major in computer science and linguistics. Harper has taken all her school’s computer science classes and done various programming projects, including her senior research project titled “Detecting Cyberbullying Using Part-of-Speech Tagging.” After college, she wants to become a computational linguist and work on improving applications like online translators and word processors.

A large focus of Ivey’s signature education initiative, “Strong Start, Strong Finish,” is improving and expanding computer science in the state’s public middle and high schools.

The governor is also expected to speak about her “Rebuild Alabama” infrastructure plan.
