Model United Nations, Mock Trial, & Model Congress provide students with excellent opportunities to develop strong speaking, research, and critical thinking skills through structured simulations of real-world institutions. In Mock Trial, students take on the roles of attorneys and witnesses while presenting cases in a courtroom setting. In Model Congress, students debate legislation and learn how laws are proposed, discussed, and passed. In Model United Nations, students represent countries in simulated UN committees where they research global issues, propose solutions, and work with other delegates to draft resolutions. Throughout the year, HMDC students may participate in competitive events connected to these activities, including local tournaments, regional competitions, and conferences hosted by universities. These experiences give students the chance to apply their skills in realistic settings while building confidence, leadership ability, and the communication skills that will benefit them for many years.
