Our Travel Team went to the National High School Model United Nations Conference (NHSMUN) for the second year in a row! Our delegates engaged in over 15 hours of debate, and spent countless hours preparing for this conference.

They got a full taste of New York this year with doing fun activities like going to the M&M store, walking in Central Park, visiting Times Square, and more! Too close this trip on a great note, they were able to bring back the delegation Award of Distinction for the second year in a row, along with many other individual awards! We are so proud of our travel team for their hard work! Here were the individual awards:
