RE:

Northwest High School 'We the People' Recognition

For the 13th consecutive year, Northwest High School’s “We the People” team won the North Carolina state championship. After winning the state title, the team traveled to Washington, D.C. to represent the state and compete nationally. The team went through a rigorous competition in front of national legal and judicial leaders. The group, led by social studies teacher Ray Parrish, received a first-place finish in the Southeast Region.

“We the People" is a program in which educators at elementary, middle and high schools teach a curriculum on the foundations of the U.S. Constitution as well as current issues.
