Exeter Senior High's Model UN Club Heads to National Academic WorldQuest

This weekend, the Model UN Club from Exeter Senior High will participate in the National Academic WorldQuest in Washington, D.C. The team, made up of students from the school's Model UN Club, has reached this level after facing challenges, including the loss of their original advisor. Their new advisor, Mrs. Heather Mills, helped them win the regional competition in March, which qualified them for the nationals.

The competition will involve 250 students from across the United States, who will answer questions on global issues such as South Korea, Europe, Africa, Women in Diplomacy, and Artificial Intelligence. The format requires teams to answer 100 questions in less than a minute each, testing their detailed knowledge.

The team has prepared thoroughly for the national competition, building on their knowledge from the regional competition and reading widely to understand global politics and geopolitical issues better.

The club has struggled with recruitment in the past and almost didn't have enough members for the regional competition. New members joined in February, helping them meet the competition requirements and succeed. They hope their participation in the nationals will attract more students to the club and showcase the benefits and teamwork it offers.
