Lincoln constitution team in national championship
From 2-5 p.m. today, Lincoln High School students compete in the championship round of the “We the People” competition in Washington D.C. Just one of 10 teams in from across the nation to advance to the championship round, Lincoln earned the trip to Washington by winning the state competition in January – sponsored by the Classroom Law Project.
In the state and national competition, teams compete by demonstrating their knowledge — through mock congressional hearings — on the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights and related documents.
Grant High School placed seventh in the national competition last year. The last time Lincoln made it to the championship round was in 2010 when the school placed fourth.
