⚖️CELEBRATING CONSTITUTIONAL SCHOLARS⚖️ In partnership with the Center for Constitutional Values' Scholarship Fund and the YMCA of The Treasure Coast, the Martin County School District conducted the seventh annual “Constitution Academic Competition” this week! Teams of students from Jensen Beach, Martin County and South Fork high schools debated the U.S. Supreme Court case “Miller v. Alabama” before presiding judges - the Honorable Kathleen Roberts (19th Judicial Circuit Court of Florida), the Honorable William Roby (19th Judicial Circuit Court) and the Honorable Alan O. Forst (Fourth District Court of Appeal). The case addressed the constitutionality of enacting life sentences without parole for juveniles convicted of capital crimes.

South Fork High School participated in the seventh annual “Constitution Academic Competition” sponsored by the Center for Constitutional Values’ Scholarship Fund, the YMCA of the Treasure Coast, and the Martin County School District. The teams— Noyana Pierre-Louis and Sophie Suereth; Dawson Hawkins and Matthew Mastrosimone—debated the U.S. Supreme Court case “Miller v. Alabama”, to ascertain if the case was wrongly decided? (The case addressed the constitutionality of enacting the death penalty for juveniles convicted of capital crimes.) Although both teams effectively articulated their positions, Noyana Pierre-Louis and Sophie Suereth won the debate (advocating for Miller). They each received a $250 scholarship and will advance to Round 2 in April, where they will compete for additional scholarships. A special thanks to Justice William Roby, 19th Judicial Circuit Court, for presiding over the debate.
