Students from the Early College Academy here in Lafayette are putting in hundreds of study hours all in preparation for the “We The People” national championship that will be held at George Mason University.

The competition’s main focus deals with the students’ knowledge of the Constitution like the Bill of Rights and modern-day implications.

Students are then judged on their understanding, reasoning, responsiveness, and use of constitutional applications.

The team is made up of 17 students and two teachers and they need your financial help to make this all possible.

To contribute to the cause contact Amanda Guidry or Vickie Hebert at the Early College Academy located on the SLCC campus.
