Welcome to Sky View High School We the People Blog

We the People the Citizen and the Constitution High School Level Simulated Congressional Hearings is a federally sponsored program that works at elementary, middle, and high school levels. Those at the High School level have the opportunity to compete for district, state, and then national competitions. For the fourth year running, Sky View's team has taken the state title, meaning that the team proceeds onto the national level in Washington D.C.

We the People consists of each team with six units, at Sky View the units are anywhere from four to six members. Each unit has three "questions", each with a different focus. Prior to competing, each unit prepares four minute responses to each of their questions for presentation. At the competition, the judges will randomly choose one question to ask. At that point the unit presents the four minute response, then the judges ask six minutes on open questioning, relating to any aspect of the response.

Sky View is going to Washington D.C. on April 22 and return home on April 28, the funds required to attend the national convention are approximately $25,000. In order to help raise funds we are working on several fundraisers.
