Pilgrim School's Monthly Student Newspaper has contributors range from 6th to 12th grade. We aim to be the voice of the Patriots and we cover an eclectic array of subjects and themes, from campus events, athletic competitions, clubs, and student opinions on a variety of subjects.
Mock Trial
Pilgrim's School students from ninth grade to twelfth grade compete in a program created by the Constitutional Rights Foundation to help students acquire a working knowledge of our judicial system, develop analytical abilities and communication skills, and gain an understanding of their obligations and responsibilities as participating members of our society. Each year, CRF creates and produces a new set of Mock Trial materials based on an important issue facing America's youth. The materials include a hypothetical criminal case (including summaries of case law, witness statements, official exhibits, and simplified rules of evidence); lesson plans on the central issues in the case; and competition rules and guidelines. Students actively experience the excitement of working in teams, exchanging ideas, setting goals, and examining issues while interacting with positive role models from their communities. By studying the case and preparing strategies and arguments for trial, students also develop presentation skills, analytic ability, and team cooperation.
