We would like to congratulate our AP Government classes at Waukegan
High School for their exceptional showing at the most recent district
level competition of the We the People Congressional Hearing
competition that was held this past October 30th at the University
Center in Grayslake. All 4 sections of the class competed and Mr. Josh
Bill's class has advanced to the State Finals to be held on December
4th at the Dirksen Federal Building. Under the guidance of their AP
teachers (Mr. Bill, Mr. John Franco, Ms. Christine Le and Ms. Flor
Rico) the classes were able to articulate and defend positions on tough
constitutional questions such as "How is the system of checks and
balances designed to limit the exercise of presidential power and how
well does it work?". Another group was asked "The Sixth Amendment
guarantees persons charged with crimes a fair trial. The First
Amendment guarantees the press and the public the right to attend
criminal trials. In what ways, if any, are these rights in conflict
with one another?" As you can see it was no easy task and we would
like to recognize our students for their hard work and efforts. Best
wishes at State to Mr. Bill's class!
