Model UN Club

Students attended a Model United Nations conference hosted by Boston Latin School, the oldest school in the United States. More than 200 students from Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont participated. The event offered ten committees, and our delegates served on seven of them, exploring topics ranging from environmental policy in the European Union and a historical simulation of the Bretton Woods Conference to a fictional crisis titled The Famine of 2099. Delegates researched their topics and country positions in advance, then worked together to build consensus and vote on resolutions. Sienna Serrano was recognized as the outstanding delegate on her committee.
