Spring Valley High School Model United Nations
Model United Nations at Spring Valley High School, launched in 2011, has quickly grown into a dynamic academic elective program for the forty plus students from all grade levels who actively participate. Meeting after the school day and on Saturday mornings, our dedicated Model UN students assume the roles of UN countries and actively research, debate, problem-solve, negotiate and write proposals on global issues while participating in academic simulation of United Nations committees.
The team also attends travel conferences to compete against other students and schools from all over the world. Our MUN students have traveled internationally to the Paris Model UN conference for three years running, hosted international exchange students from France, participated in travel conferences in Utah and California, and for the past three years, hosted the first local high school Model UN conference (LVMUN I, II, and III) in Las Vegas.
Our program has earned many accolades at Model UN conferences in California, Utah, New York and Paris, France, including back to back “Best Delegation” wins at both Brigham Young University MUN (2012 and 2013) and at UC Irvine MUN (2013, 2014 and 2015). We were named "Best New School" in 2014 at the Berkeley MUN conference, our students have won multiple individual delegate awards at the Paris Model UN conferences (2011-2013), and most recently, our team won a coveted "Award of Merit" at the largest Model UN Conference in history, the 2015 National High School Model UN Conference in New York City We are currently ranked in the top 20 high school Model UN teams in the Western states by bestdelegate.com.
