Mock Election Yields a Winner
McDonogh was one of two schools in Maryland—and the only independent school—to participate in the mock election, a project of Northfield-Mt. Hermon School in Northfield, Massachusetts. Launched in 1988, the project was designed to make politics “more fun, interesting, and understandable for young people while teaching them the importance of the voting process.” McDonogh has been part of it since the project’s inception.
Students completed their ballots in advisor groups yesterday morning. Members of the Presidential Politics class tabulated the vote midday so it could be included in the national tally by last night. See the results here.
To inform voters beforehand, seniors in the three different government and politics courses staged a lively debate for the Upper School on October 27. The exchange featured Tom K. as President Bush and Brent L. as Senator Kerry. Moderators ran the debate like the real thing, and the candidates stated their views with the same passion and enthusiasm as the actual candidates.
Also included on the ballot was an issues poll, which asked students’ opinions on six questions central to the 2004 presidential campaign. Students registered their views on the war in Iraq, federally-sponsored health care, taxation, international relations, the constitutional definition of marriage, and oil drilling in a refuge area.
