Congratulations to Graland alumni who recently won the Colorado Mock Trial State Championship and and will go on to compete nationally May 11-13 in Hartford, Connecticut. As part of the Colorado Academy team, Jacqueline Patel ‘13, Ady Richards ‘14 and Lila Arnold ‘14 brought home the big win. In addition, Lila was honored with a Best Witness award and Isabelle Chandler ‘13, Sydney Turner ‘14 and Charlie Wallace ‘14 qualified as finalists on a different CA team. From other area high schools, Henry Brown ‘13 and Kate Frankmore ‘16 also received individual awards and Sophia Rase ‘14, Hallie Rhine ‘16 and Hannah Finke ‘15 qualified as finalists.

“Over and over, the Graland parents I talked to attributed their teen’s ability to compete at such a high level to the groundwork Graland provided with years of public speaking and presentation opportunities,” shares Liz Arnold.

Mock trial is an educational program sponsored locally by the Colorado Bar Association that gives students an opportunity to expand their speaking, writing, reading, and analytical skills while learning about the judicial system. We wish the CA team the best of luck at the National Mock Trial Tournament!
