Westminster’s We the People Places in National Competition, Wins Central State Regional Award

Town & Country – Westminster Christian Academy’s We the People team placed 11^th out of 56 teams at the national competition in Washington, D.C., and was awarded the Central State Regional award.

Westminster has offered the We the People program to its students for 17 years under the leadership of Ken Boesch. The program allows students the opportunity to study and debate aspects of American government and the U.S. Constitution. Westminster’s We the People students have competed at state and national levels; they have won state awards and often participated in the national competition for 13 consecutive years. For the past four years at the national competition, Westminster’s team has placed 11^th three times and achieved ninth place once.

This year’s team was comprised of 17 senior students who all performed well, says Boesch. Many of the students commented that the competition was the highlight of their high school career. “It was a very competitive field this year,” says Boesch. “The students put in a lot of work, and it certainly paid off.”

Westminster Christian Academy is an independent, coeducational, college preparatory school serving 964 students in grades 7–12. Westminster provides an academically diverse student body with knowledge in the traditional liberal arts and the skills and wisdom to apply that knowledge, encouraging students to embrace a biblical worldview and integrate it into every area of life.  For more information, visit www.wcastl.org.
