West Cluster Model UN
​
This organization encompasses Model United Nations clubs at Plano West, Jasper, and Shepton High Schools.
Beyond providing students an avenue to compete at local (DAMUN, TCCMUN, YMCA, etc.) and college-level (UT Austin, Rice, and the University of Houston) conferences in Texas, our Secretariat are most proud of enabling students with a global perspective.
Our club is always open to new members! We invite students to join our club to learn more about international affairs, while improving their public-speaking, research, and problem-solving skills. Model UN is a community and you can build long-lasting friendships within the club, at conferences, and through leadership roles.
Model UN is a simulation of the United Nations and its various committees. Students perform the role of a delegate while debating real-world topics such as climate change and global health.
​
