During the state finals in March, Newton South Mock Trial earned the right to represent Massachusetts at the National High School Mock Trial Championship in Des Moines, Iowa — one of the most competitive academic tournaments in the country.

Our team of 15 students has spent the year mastering courtroom procedure, building arguments, and sharpening our skills with our coaches and chaperones through intense competition. Becoming state champions is a great achievement, but unfortunately our budget doesn't fully cover the cost of flights, hotels, and meals to make the trip happen.

Every donation, large or small, goes directly toward making sure no student misses out on this once-in-a-high-school experience. We are deeply grateful for your support.

Team Captains: Sofia Telio, Theo Younkin, Owen Butler, Emily Zisow

Members: Clare Cho, Bomi Woo, Anastasia Karpova, Henry Fu, Isa Folch, Seyoon Byun, Amalie Martin, Ariel Hollander, Jamie Brandt, Mariella Weiss, Molly Hadlow

Thank you from the whole Newton South Mock Trial team - your generosity is deeply appreciated.
