World Affairs Council
The HMHS World Affairs Council (WAC) has eared "Best Small" and "Best Medium School" awards multiple times at the Rutgers University Model United Nations (RUMUN) and Philadelphia Model United Nations (PhilMUN). In addition to these conferences, the members of WAC attended Model United Nations at the University of Chicago (MUNUC) in 2008 and the North America Invitational Model United Nations (NAIMUN) in Washington D.C., starting in 2009. WAC members will be attending NAIMUN again in 2010. The group goes to three overnight conferences per year, and they also attend four one-day conferences in the South Jersey area. The members of the WAC additionally run a one-day conference in Haddonfield, HadMUN. As of 2012, Jeffery Boogard, an AP US History and AP Gov teacher at HMHS, runs World Affairs Council.
