Founded in 1980, the Organization of Young Political Scientists was designed to both educate on and celebrate the American and world political systems. It is our continuing mission to increase understanding of cultural activities, both nationally and abroad, to promote the understanding of world cultures, and to represent the Christian Brothers High School student body as one that is concerned and involved in the local and world communities. We pursue this undertaking by participating in programs aimed at portraying political debate scenarios, such as the Model United Nations and Youth Legislature. Our participation in such events gives our members firsthand experience of world politics, both locally and internationally.
