The Indian Hills High School Model United Nations (MUN) Delegation delivered a powerhouse performance at last week’s conference held at Bergen County Academies. The team’s dedication to diplomacy, rigorous research, and collaborative problem-solving culminated in the prestigious title of Outstanding Small Delegation.

Throughout the event, Indian Hills delegates engaged in high-level debates on critical global issues, working alongside peers from other schools to draft resolutions aimed at fostering international cooperation. The advisors, Lauren Smalley and Jordana Tarlowe, expressed immense pride in the team's ability to find common ground and propose meaningful solutions for a better world.

The award-winning delegation featured a talented roster of students, including Kevin Renner, Gavin Levine, Alexa Silverstein, Nelly Cavalieri, Maddie Kincel, Julia Coppo, Jacob Lee, Debbie Oh, Abigail Chon, and Andrew Fox. Each member's contributions within their respective committees were vital to the team's collective victory.

In addition to the team award, several students received individual accolades for their exceptional performance:
