The 22 students from the school operated jointly by the Richland, Kennewick and Pasco school districts took part in the "We the People" competition Saturday at the Franklin County Courthouse in Pasco.

The students had to testify in a mock congressional hearing and answer constitutional questions from a panel of judges.
