Over 2,000 students and staff at Mission High School have participated in a national mock election through the Youth Leadership Initiative at the University of Virginia Center for Politics. This was done through an online campaign. Students were brought to the MHS library during their history classes to participate. It took three days to complete the task. The results of the mock election will be made available on October 28 and will also be used in a nationwide mock election television broadcast the week of the general election.
Many Mission CISD schools take the opportunities presented by local and national elections to work in lessons and opportunities to model the electoral processes.
