Local Students Attend Model UN Conference
March 17, 2016
The Northview High School Model United Nations Team recently took part in the 37th annual Florida High Schools Model United Nations conference in Orlando.
The high school conference was modeled after real debate and United Nations actions and programs.
Northview Model UN team members were Jessica Amerson, Madison Weber, Moriah McGahan, Carly Ward, David Thorpe, Hadley Woodfin, Zach Sheldon, Ellie Amerson, Alayna Brown, Sarah Perritt, Triston Long and Catie Clayton. The group is sponsored by teacher Anna Barry.
This year, two nations were represented by the Northview team: The Republic of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Belgium. There were a total of 298 delegates and the conference and 24 different high schools, including one from Turkey.
The NHS team consisted of 12 delegates who were involved in the following committees: Security Council, UN Office of Drugs and Crime, World Health Organization, Ad Hoc, UN Women, General Assembly Third, and the European Union. All of the delegates worked diligently to draft resolutions to world problems.
Two years ago, Northview became the first Escambia County public school to participate in a Florida High Schools Model United Nations conference.

This is an amazing group of young adults and this was an amazing opportunity for students from such a small school! These young men and women put in a lot of hours and hard work for this conference. There’s a big world out there and I really appreciate the fact that Northview is trying to expose their students to events such as this!
