We the People: The Citizen & The Consitution

To the right is the first ever We the People team from Evanston High School. Their teacher Arne Hengesteg started the program with a small group in the fall of '25 and brought them to our state competition where they tesitified quite nobly. Please consider starting a program at your school!

This page has resources for both new and long serving teachers, a section for our amazing judges, and even a little history of the program itself.

Congratulations to Cheyenne Central, the 25/26 Wildcard Runner's Up. This year's Central team made a huge jump in placing a very close 2nd place and will also be attending National Finals in D.C. this spring.
