Jacob Harvey works hard to make sure his students are becoming participatory citizens! During each of his three years as a teacher, he has brought a team to the We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution district level competition, and each year his team has been among the 10 teams from around the state invited to the State Competition. This year his students won the We the People State Competition and were given the opportunity to represent Arizona at the National We the People Competition in Washington, DC. They had a little over 2 months to work on the questions that each unit would be presenting on, along with raising funds for their trip. Once in DC, they did an amazing job during their two days of competition to win the Unit 4 Award and place 15th out of 56 teams!!! Jacob is also a We the People Summer Institute mentor and helps teach those teachers who are new to the We the People curriculum. His expertise and dedication is amazing. The Foundation is extremely proud of the difference Jacob is making in the lives of the students he teaches and is thankful for all that he does to inspire other teachers to participate in law-related education programs sponsored by the Foundation.
