The Model United Nations at Austin High is the fastest growing organization on our campus. In four short years, we have grown from one class to three, and from a handful of very dedicated students to over 100 prepared delegates. Last season, we won awards at every conference we attended and are looking forward to another successful year.

Mr. Ralph Miller has been an English teacher in AISD for the past 24 years, and has taught at the Academy for Global Studies at Austin High for 7 years. Being immersed in global issues and a desire to more fully explore these topics inspired him to sponsor and teach Model UN. The program has grown from one class period to three, and there's now a club offered to include AHS freshman that are hoping to become more involved in MUN. He is very excited to be hosting Austin High's second annual Model UN conference and looks forward to a day of intelligent, spirited debate.
