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.

Famous quotes containing the words world, affairs and/or council:
“When the Somalians were merely another hungry third world people, we sent them guns. Now that they are falling down dead from starvation, we send them troops. Some may see in this a tidy metaphor for the entire relationship between north and south. But it would make a whole lot more sense nutritionally—as well as providing infinitely more vivid viewing—if the Somalians could be persuaded to eat the troops.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“Friendship is constant in all other things
Save in the office and affairs of love.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I haven’t seen so much tippy-toeing around since the last time I went to the ballet. When members of the arts community were asked this week about one of their biggest benefactors, Philip Morris, and its requests that they lobby the New York City Council on the company’s behalf, the pas de deux of self- justification was so painstakingly choreographed that it constituted a performance all by itself.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
