🌍 GAS & GAHS Delegation at NHSMUN 2026
A 45-member delegation from the Georgian-American School (GAS) and Georgian-American High School (GAHS) represented their institutions at NHSMUN 2026, held in New York City.
The visit was a richly multifaceted experience, weaving together academic debate, diplomatic engagement, and cultural discovery.
Throughout the conference, students threw themselves into committee work, tackling pressing global challenges, engaging in structured debate, drafting resolutions, and building connections with peers from around the world. As one of the largest international youth platforms, NHSMUN offers students an unparalleled environment to develop leadership, sharpen critical thinking, and gain firsthand diplomatic experience.
The opening ceremony set an inspiring tone, with a keynote address by then U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris. Her remarks carried a resonant message for the young delegates.
The conference concluded with a visit to the United Nations Headquarters, where students explored the founding principles of the UN and soaked in the atmosphere of international diplomacy up close.
Beyond the conference halls, the delegation immersed itself in the culture and history of New York City.
They explored St. Patrick's Cathedral, Rockefeller Center, the Empire State Building, Times Square, DUMBO, and the Brooklyn Bridge. A ferry ride to the Statue of Liberty proved especially memorable, as did visits to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and SUMMIT One Vanderbilt. Attending an NBA game rounded out the New York experience in style — and by many accounts, became the highlight of the entire trip.
The journey then continued to Washington, D.C., where the delegation visited the landmarks that define American political and historical memory: the U.S. Capitol, the White House, the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials, the Washington Monument, Arlington National Cemetery, and the National Air and Space Museum. The tour gave students a vivid, grounded appreciation for the country's history and the institutions that shape it.
