The GHS Model UN team competed at the Wisconsin High School Model United Nations Conference held on March 21 and 22 at UW-Milwaukee. Students represented the nations of Egypt, Indonesia, Haiti, and Costa Rica in a number of simulations, including the International Court of Justice, Human Rights Council, and UN General Assembly.
The team prepared by completing extensive research on their nations, as well as their stances on a number of global issues, including The Arab Spring, Access to Drinking Water, Climate Change, and International Migrant Workers. Representatives then worked with hundreds of other students to pass resolutions that resolve and propose solutions to these issues.
GHS students Britta Carloni and Peter Crapitto won an award for their research for the Third Main Committee representing Haiti, and Burgoyne Hughes won an award for his research on the Cuban Missile Crisis, which was a separate simulation played out in the Joint Crisis Committee.
