MLWGS CLAIMS ITS 19TH REGIONAL AND STATE
CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE IN
"WE THE PEOPLE: THE CITIZEN AND THE CONSTITUTION"
ACADEMIC COMPETITION
Maggie
Walker’s ‘We the People’ team wins its 19th state title in the We the People:
The Citizen and the Constitution, a civics and constitutional knowledge hearing
held at the Darden School of Business at UVA on Friday, January 27. Run
by the Center for Civic Education and James Madison’s Montpelier, this year’s
competition brought together teams from across the state to focus on their
understanding of the Constitution and current and past events surrounding the
United States Government. Students are divided into units and prepare a
four-minute presentation on their focus area then participate in simulated
Congressional hearings on a wide variety of topics from natural rights to
immigration and Congressional representation.
This
year Maggie Walker will attend its 19th national hearings on April 21-24, 2017,
at the National Conference Center in the Washington, DC area, where students
will compete with 55 other teams from all over the nation. The students are aiming for a possible third
national title, which the school won in 2003 and 2011, and to continue the
school’s unbroken streak of top ten finishes. The ‘We the People’ program at
Maggie Walker continues to help make Virginia a dominant force in civic and
constitutional education.
