For those of us that do not know what Model Congress is, according to Mr. Dorrian, it is "a mock simulation of how the Senate and House of Representatives work. Here students are assigned to various committees and make bills in hope that they pass." This club is a great opportunity for students who are interested in politics because they can discuss and debate domestic policies and social issues. A few weeks ago Model Congress took a trip to Philadelphia where they competed against schools from across the nation. In this club members learn to compromise, debate, and speak in front of an audience about bills. When on the trip Mr Dorrian says each year that " the students come back changed with a new look on things and feel accomplished." Model Congress is a great opportunity for all those who are involved and Mr. Dorrian encourages all to come and join the club for a great opportunity to learn new things and have great experiences.
