Seven students from MHS traveled to Little Rock November 13, 2016, to compete in the Arkansas Student Congress. This three-day event centers on congressional debate. Earlier in the fall, college and high school students across the state composed bills that they believe would be important legislation for our state. These bills are submitted to the Student Congress Committee and are the basis for debate during the event. Sunday, students took part in Republican and Democratic Caucuses and Committees. Monday and Tuesday, the students were at the State Capital Building debating the bills. The college teams formed the Senate, and the high school teams formed the House of Representatives. Representing MHS as delegates were Blythe Christensen, Kristen Daniel, Valerie Maddox, Keeton Orrell, Maria Romero, and Brionna Williams. Fawad Khalid served as a page at the event. Because of their outstanding performances, Blythe, Keeton, and Maria qualified for the Forensics and Debate State Tournament of Champions in April. Way to go MHS 4N6 and DB8! This team is coached by Christy Armbrust and Tiffany Tucker.
