  • Our students did Westfield proud!" said Westfield Academy and Central School faculty member Greg Birner, who has coached teams for the "We the People" competition since 2007. The Westfield team finished third place in the state and achieved two unit awards.

The article from the Observer Today, published on January 2025, discusses the impressive performance of students from Dunkirk High School at the We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution competition held at the University at Buffalo. The students, who have been preparing since September, competed against teams from various schools across New York State. They showcased their knowledge in areas like constitutional amendments, civil liberties, and the philosophical underpinnings of American government. Their preparation involved extensive research, mock hearings, and practice sessions. The team's efforts were highlighted by their ability to engage in a simulated congressional hearing, where they answered complex questions from judges with poise and depth. Their performance was described as both educational and inspirational, reflecting well on their school and community.
