Above The UN team has a mock (rehearsal) session before the fall session. Excellence Highland’s Model United Nations team has created a tradition of excellence as they return from the sessions at McKendree College with more and more of the awards every year. The third year the team represented Poland, Denmark, Vietnam, India and the PLO. Of the major awards given away after the spring session Highland walked away with 14 of them. The most impressive fact was that of the ten scholarships given by McKendree to seniors brs (lanto)siee-lelnomelticic-tilelineme auto u(-telot-Me) amu re) ae! affairs and politics’ four were given to HHS students. Those given the scholarships were Barb Shoot, Denise Tabor, Michelle Barr and Paige Mettler. Working as a team is part of the effort needed in UN. HHS students learned to use the team effort well. Both the Poland and PLO won awards for their delegations. As the months of research dragged on while the team prepared for the event, it was easy to be discouraged. But as one member of the team said, ““Sweeping the awards and astounding everyone because the team is only three years old was worth it.”
