2012 Mock Election

Presented by Gifted Education Students

   

     Challenge students have been learning about six different political parties, and they created fictional candidates to run for office in 2012.  Because we are learning about a variety of parties, the candidates did not get to choose their own parties.  For this reason, the views of each candidate may not represent their personal views.

What to Expect at the Future City Competition

We are getting excited about the upcoming Future City Competition!  Our regional competition will take place in Chicago on January 26, 2013.  We will have two teams participating.  Here are a few videos from last year's National Future City Competition to give you an idea what to expect. 

I think this team had great public speaking skills.

 This was the first place team from Wisconsin.
