Welcome to the Model Congress Website!

Model Congress, one of the most interesting and prestigious clubs at Midwood.  There weren't too many meetings during the year, is holding its thirty-third annual convention on the last weekend in March this year. I am inviting all Midwood students to attend the Model Congress Convention at Midwood HS that will be held from Friday, March 26th through Sunday, March 28th. At the convention, Midwood students will be gathering with students from other schools, some of which usually include Madison HS, John Dewey, and Shepshead Bay. We will be mimicking the congress for one weekend, debating on proposed bills that will be or have been recently presented at the Congress. Some of the topics we will be debating include: the war on iraq, the war on terror, immigration laws, national security, airport security, foreign relations, abortion, euthanasia, marijuana, and many more. There will also be guest speakers that are prominent figures in New York's political sector, such as Councillman Owens. In this way, students get a chance to meet the people we are mimicking up close.
