High Life. A WEEKLY FORUM FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS : Mission Viejo Hosts Mock U.N. Conference
Mission Viejo High School played host to its 10th annual Model United Nations conference this past weekend.
More than 1,200 students from 25 high schools across the county gathered to debate the world’s crises. When all was said and done, the delegation from Huntington Beach High, representing the United Kindgdom, was the overall winner.
The conference was sponsored by Mission Viejo students and parents and MUN adviser Laurie Kund.
“The attack (on Iraq) over the weekend more realistically encouraged delegates to work toward a common solution and make them aware of how precarious our world truly is,” said Mission Viejo senior Joe Horvath, 17, who served as chairman of the Security Council committee.
Primarily responsible for the success of the conference were Mission Viejo seniors Ellie Terry (secretary general), Jason Okazaki and Amanda McGlaughlin (under secretaries-general).
In March, many county students will travel to New York for the national high school Model United Nations conference.
