Congratulations to Montgomery Catholic’s two outstanding Mock Trial teams for their impressive performances at the Regional Youth Judicial Competition! Competing against 20 other high school teams from across the region, our students showcased their critical thinking, public speaking, and legal reasoning skills as they stepped into the roles of attorneys and witnesses.
Team 1—comprised of Campbell Webb, Ellis O’Connor, Jaja Gancayco, Ellie Wallock, Anna-Rose Schwarz, Madelyn Stringer, Katie Dean, and Makayla Corbin—had a remarkable showing, winning all three of their trials and earning a well-deserved spot at the state competition. Their teamwork, preparation, and poise in the courtroom truly stood out.
Team 2—featuring Taelyn Billups, Virginia Henley, Ava Henderson, Molly Turner, Anderson Byrd, Raven Blackburn, Paulina Quilacio, Kayla Hora, and Claire Blanks—also had a strong performance and was selected as an alternate for the state competition. Their dedication and composure impressed judges and peers alike throughout the event.
Under the guidance of faculty supervisor Colby Aderhold, Montgomery Catholic’s Youth Judicial program continues to provide students with invaluable experience in law, public service, and leadership. We are incredibly proud of all our participants for representing Montgomery Catholic with excellence, integrity, and enthusiasm.
