The students were chosen as the two finalists from Westminster to compete against finalists from Avon Old Farms School, Loomis Chafee School, Kingswood Oxford School and Suffield Academy. This year’s topic “Who is an American and who decides?” addressed the issue of citizenship and immigration throughout American history and up to the present.
The students spent the winter researching the topic and, ultimately, produced a 3,000-word essay. Judge Elliott Solomon, Connecticut Superior Court Deputy Chief Administrative Judge, evaluated the essays and picked the winners. Judge Solomon spoke to the finalists in a dinner hosted by Kingswood Oxford School, which included a lively discussion about citizenship.
