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:
“It was not that she was out of temper, but that the world was not equal to the demands of her fine organism.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“The vast results obtained by Science are won by no mystical faculties, by no mental processes other than those which are practiced by every one of us, in the humblest and meanest affairs of life. A detective policeman discovers a burglar from the marks made by his shoe, by a mental process identical with that by which Cuvier restored the extinct animals of Montmartre from fragments of their bones.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“Parental attitudes have greater correlation with pupil achievement than material home circumstances or variations in school and classroom organization, instructional materials, and particular teaching practices.”
—Children and Their Primary Schools, vol. 1, ch. 3, Central Advisory Council for Education, London (1967)
