Clarendon High School students competed in the Congress regional competition on November 7 and advanced to state.
This was the first year that Clarendon had competed in this UIL event. In Congress competition, students caucus in committees, deliver formal discourse on the merits and disadvantages of each piece of legislation, and vote to pass or defeat the measures they have examined.
Parliamentary procedure forms the structure for the discourse, and students extemporaneously respond to others’ arguments throughout a session.
Wes Shaw earned first place to advance to state, and Cutter Seay earned third place to advance to state. Zane Cruse earned first alternate to state, and Ronan Howard was chosen as the student Presiding Officer.
Others competing from Clarendon were Zak Roberts and Rowdy Bebout.
The state contest will be January 10 and 11 at the University of Texas and the Texas State Capital.
