The Chatham High School "We the People" team of 20 won the Massachusetts state title for the 12th time in 14 years, making this year the eighth in a row. By any measure, this is an astonishing accomplishment, a tribute to the excellence of Chatham education, the inspired leadership of teacher Tom Flaherty and the dedication and hard work of all on the team.

For those who are able to contribute to help cover the costs of the trip (about $10,000), tax deductible contributions can be made to "We the People" and mailed to Chatham HIgh School, 425 Crowell Road, Chatham, MA 02633.
