On Feb. 23, Bishop McGuinness High School hosted Model UN for seventh- and eighth-grade students from Catholic middle schools in the Piedmont Triad area, including Immaculate Heart of Mary in High Point, Our Lady of Grace and St. Pius X in Greensboro, Our Lady of Mercy and St. Leo in Winston-Salem, and Sacred Heart in Salisbury.
Teams from each school learned how the United Nations operates and prepared to debate solutions to various conflicts in the culminating event at Bishop McGuinness.
The event has been led by students at the high school for the past 15 years.
At the closing ceremony, awards were given to teams in each debate room.
The top three schools were Our Lady of Grace, St. Pius X and Immaculate Heart of Mary, respectively.
