Senator Jauch, with unanimous consent, asked that when the Senate adjourn, it do so in honor of the Superior Senior High Mock Trial Team which competed Monday, against Sheboygan South High School, in the state mock trial competition finals - arguing their case before the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
While the team from Sheboygan won the split decision, Supreme Court Chief Justice, Shirley Abrahamson commended the Superior Senior High team for its extraordinary performance.
Superior Senior High School students have participated in the mock trial competition since its inception 15 years ago. In those 15 years -- competing against nearly 160 teams from across the state -- the Superior Senior High Mock Trial Teams have advanced to the state competition 13 times; participated in the mock trial team finals before the Supreme Court - 10 times; and won the state title 5 times.
This is very much a competition of the mind - designed to provide students with a challenging opportunity to develop and test both critical-thinking and public speaking skills. Students work with teachers, volunteer attorney coaches and judges to learn firsthand about our legal system.
It is impoprtant to recognize the accomplishments of academic competitors just as we do student athletes. The members of the mock trial team represent some of the best students at Superior Senior High and the pride of the community. They are also a testament to the excellence of public education in the Superior School District.
Members of the Team: Marina Agerter, Jennifer Broberg, Holle Driscoll, Miranda Johnson, David Knudson, Erin McConnell, Paul Peterson, Tom Rohde, RaShell Scott and Angie VanHove.
Coaches: Bill Rehnstrand, Carrie Imgrund, Ken Knudson, George Glonek and Kyle Smith.
