HMS Model UN Delegates Recognized at March Conference

WILTON, NH —Two High Mowing School (HMS) Model UN (MUN) delegates were recognized at a MUN conference in March at Clark University in Worcester, MA.

Seniors Cherise Wang and Brady Kershaw were recognized for their work with an honorable mention and outstanding delegate, respectively. Kershaw, of Milford, presented on the Fall of the Qin Dynasty, and Wang, of Windham, was part of the delegation for the Tenth Communist Party Congress of 1974.

The HMS MUN team consists of 20 high school students, who are learning about the United Nations, diplomacy, and international relations. “I teach the students about the organization of the UN and its processes for addressing world issues,” HMS teacher Cary Hughes says. MUN delegates research and prepare to represent a specific country and to present on topics of importance to those countries.

Through MUN participation, high school students have the opportunity to improve skills in public speaking, cooperation, and compromise.

“MUN is an excellent opportunity for students to learn how to work cooperatively with others to find solutions to serious world issues,” Hughes says. “I am always inspired by the enthusiasm and hard work the students bring to these conferences.”

Hughes and HMS delegates are now preparing for the George Washington University Conference on April 13-16, before hosting the final conference of the school year at HMS in May.

High Mowing School is a coeducational, non-denominational college-preparatory Waldorf boarding and day school serving students in early childhood programs through grade 12.
