Wow! Model Congress Club At MHS Wins Best Delegation Award—Again!

Congrats to the Model Congress Club at Montclair High School, which won the Best Delegation award at the University of Pennsylvania Model Congress Conference (PennMC) this past weekend.

The conference took place at the university in Philadelphia from Thursday through Sunday where they wrote and debated legislation modeling that of the United States Government, as well as its Supreme Court. The 24-person team was competing against schools, both public and private, from all over the country (mostly private).

Aside from winning the conference award, MHS students brought home an astounding 20 individual awards including two of the eight very prestigious "Golden Gavel" awards. This is the third time in four years that Montclair High School has won this Best Delegation award. In 2010 we missed the conference due to a blizzard.
