Congratulations to the MHS Student Congress Delegation!
After 3 days of intense legislative committee and floor debate, our delegation was recognized for many individual achievements:
Excellent ratings for Committee: Brice Pace, Brittany Halley, and Zach Chambliss
Superior ratings for Committee: Jackie Cargile and Natalie Skinner
Excellent ratings for Caucus: Jackie Cargile, Natalie Skinner, and Zach Chambliss
Superior ratings for Caucus: Brittany Halley and Brice Pace
Superior ratings for Parliamentary Procedures: Brice Pace and Natalie Skinner
Our delegation authored 4 legislative bills by the following delegates: Natalie Skinner, Parrish HIcks, Brice Pace, and Jackie Cargile. Bills earned recognition in two primary methods: 1) an independent judge decides which bills are the best and 2) the bills passed by the college senate become Laws of Congress which are forwarded to the Governor and Arkansas Legislators. Brice Pace earned 3rd Place for Best Bill, and Natalie Skinner’s bill passed in the senate with a record-breaking unanimous vote.
Our Best of Delegation was Natalie Skinner.
Our delegation had two of the most memorable pages in our history who were JJ Smith and Thomas Lafever and everyone that worked with them praised them. The Congress Directors for their hard work and cooperative spirit recognized them.
If students are interested in being on next year’s delegation, they should contact Mrs. Ashcraft or Mrs. Armbrust.
