We the People Places in Top Ten Teams at National Competition

Westminster Christian Academy’s We the People team represented Missouri at the national competition April 25 – 28 in Washington, D.C. The team was among the top 10 ten teams the first day of the competition and won the national Unit 2 award.

We the People is a program Westminster has offered to students for 19 years under the leadership of Ken Boesch, head coach of the team. The program allows students an opportunity to study and debate aspects of American government and the U.S. Constitution. Student teams from Westminster have competed at state and national levels, winning state awards and participating in the national competition for 15 consecutive years.

This year’s team consisted of 21 students, all of whom performed very well, according to 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,” said Boesch. “The students put in a lot of work, and it certainly paid off.”
