ABOUT AUSTIN HIGH MODEL UN
The Model UN program at Austin High is the fastest growing program at our school. Our program started five years ago with just one class period, which quickly grew to three. Today, over 100 students from our school participate in our program, attending conferences and frequently winning awards, and we won the best large delegation at MUNSA, the largest student-run conference in the US. We've held an annual conference for the past two years, and aim to make this year the best one yet!
MEET OUR SPONSORS
Mr. Ralph Miller has been an English teacher in AISD for the past 25 years, and has taught at the Academy for Global Studies at Austin High for 8 years. Being immersed in global issues and a desire to more fully explore these topics inspired him to sponsor and teach Model UN. The program has grown significantly over the years, and there's now a club offered to include AHS freshman that are hoping to become more involved in MUN. He is very excited to be hosting Austin High's third annual Model UN conference and looks forward to a day of intelligent, spirited debate.
