We’re proud to celebrate the incredible achievements of the Maine South High School and St. Joseph-Ogden High School We the People teams, who recently represented Illinois at the national We the People National Finals in Bethesda, Maryland!

Competing on a national stage is no small feat—these students demonstrated deep knowledge of the Constitution, strong critical thinking skills, and a true commitment to civic engagement. Their hard work, preparation, and dedication were on full display throughout the competition.

We know how much time, effort, and heart goes into this journey, and we couldn’t be more proud of these students and their teachers for representing their schools and our state so well.

Congratulations on an outstanding accomplishment—you’ve made your communities proud!
