River Bluff High School placed first runner-up in the We the People competition Dec. 7.

The competition is a simulated congressional hearing in which students “testify” before a panel of judges. It is sponsored by the SC Bar Law Related Education Division.

Wando High School won first place.

“This program allows students to learn more about the Constitution in a fun and competitive way,” said LRE Director Cynthia Cothran.

“It’s also a way to understand critical issues regarding American government in today’s society.”
