The CHS Model United Nations Club was successful in its first competition of the year. Club members served as delegates from Algeria, Finland, Guyana, Ireland, Slovenia, and Sweden at the SEMO High School MUN Conference. Delegates show their knowledge of their country and attempt to solve issues through the introduction and passage of resolutions. Throughout the day, members of the SEMO University MUN Club evaluate delegates for awards. Nine delegate awards are given out at the end of the day. Winners from the essay competition were also announced. Our club earned the following awards:

2nd Place First Committee: Ireland (Dylan Boyer, Connor White)
3rd Place First Committee: Algeria (George Dean, Will Miller)
3rd Place Security Council: Guyana (Joe Cao, Spencer Engelhardt)
