Mr. Kennard and Mr. Benacchio run the team, which consists of students from the AP Government and Politics class. Each January, the competition is hosted by the Edward M. Kennedy Institute. The competition, held at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute, simulates congressional hearings in which Auburn students compete against schools from all over Massachusetts. Topics include philosophers, the founding of America, and how the Constitution affects citizens' day-to-day lives. The We the People team finished second place in the state competition.
Auburn was named the 2014 and 2015 Massachusetts We the People State champions. As state champions, Auburn High School represented Massachusetts at the national level in Washington, D.C. The team raised over $50,000 each year in order to get to Washington D.C., most of which came from the local Auburn community. In 2016 and 2017, Auburn finished third in the state. In 2018, Auburn finished second, and was named a State Wild Card for the 2018 National Competition.
