TO CONGRATULATE THE RICHLAND NORTHEAST HIGH SCHOOL MODEL UNITED NATIONS TEAM ON THEIR SIXTEENTH STRAIGHT INTERNATIONAL FIRST PLACE AWARD OF DISTINCTION AT THE NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL MODEL UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE RECENTLY HELD IN NEW YORK.
Whereas, the Model United Nations team from Richland Northeast High School returned from New York from the National High School Model United Nations Conference with an incredible sixteenth straight international first place Award of Distinction and also won an Award of Distinction for their research on this project; and

Whereas, the students participate on the team on a strictly voluntary basis and each student's place on the team, which he or she competes for, is based on his or her particular talent and expertise; the Model United Nations emphasizes consensus building and critical thinking skills, and the students put in countless hours of study and preparation; and
