Congratulations Highland Park High School Model United Nations Team!

Model UN sponsors Joe Brysiewicz and Lindsey Choy congratulate Model UN Presidents Delia Cashman, Hannah Kee, and Ryan Kessler, and the entire Highland Park High School Model UN team on their 1st place designation (Overall Delegation Award of Distinction) and 2nd place designation (Research & Preparation) at the 51st Annual National High School Model United Nations (NHSMUN) Conference in New York City. This is the team's first Overall Delegation Award of Distinction at NHSMUN since 2018. 

Our students joined over 3,000 high school students for four days of debating international crises and drafting multilateral resolutions. The conference included an incredibly rare opportunity to attend a fireside chat and Q & A with 46th President of the United States Joseph R. Biden.

In addition to our two delegation team awards, eight of our delegates (noted below) received NHSMUN's top individual honors. This honor includes speaking at the Saturday morning plenary session. Students who received this honor were asked to speak from the dais at closing ceremonies. Above all, our team continues to receive national recognition for the talent and effort of its members all while maintaining a spirit of cooperation and generosity when working with other delegations. Our members represented Highland Park High School with the highest integrity, diligence, and skill.

It was an exciting weekend for our Track & Field Programs. The Girls hosted and placed 3rd in the Giant Relays. The team finished only two points out of first place. It was great to see the Indoor Track rocking with excitement. The enthusiasm and passion continued on Saturday as the boys took on Deerfield in their annual dual. Our Giants lost at the Varsity level, but were victorious at the JV level. Thanks to all the coaches and workers, especially maintenance and security, for their help in hosting two big meets in less than 24 hours. 

We also hosted a Boys Water Polo Invitational on Saturday. Coach Washburn’s squad lost to Hersey in the championship match, but got their season off to a great start by going 2-1 yesterday. Boys Gymnastics traveled to Niles West to compete this weekend. The freshmen showed a lot of potential on Friday night and the Varsity did a nice job on Saturday . Finally, the Girls Water Polo co-op team won their first game of the year against Lake Forest on Wednesday of last week by the score of 8-4. The team’s record stands at 1-1.
