Every year the San Bernardino County Schools holds a Mock Trial competition among 28 of the SB County high schools. This year’s field held 32 teams from those schools. This past December, Cajon High School made history by winning the Mock Trial competition for the first time! The team now advances to the California State Championship to be held later this month in Sacramento.
As we all know, schools’ funding resources are very tight, especially when it comes to out of town travel, and Cajon is no exception. Cajon High’s volunteer coaches Deputy Public Defender William Drake and San Bernardino Prosecutor Lisa Mann showed exceptional dedication to the community by donating countless hours of their time to help Cajon reach the top of SB County. The San Bernardino County Prosecutors aren’t just about protecting the rights of victims and engaging in political issues, the SB Prosecutors believe in helping the community too!
When SB Prosecutor & Cajon coach Lisa Mann reached out for funding to to help with travel expenses, SB Prosecutors stepped up and donated $3,000 to pay for flights & hotel rooms for the coaches and meals for the team to help meet the Cajon team’s needs and support their quest for state victory!
SB Prosecutor Lisa Mann said, "The Cajon Mock Trial Team is a group of incredibly hard-working and well deserving kids. It really is an honor to be a part of their journey to Mock Trial State Finals. We are very grateful to @SBCProsecutors for their support as we represent San Bernardino County in Sacramento. Go Cajon!"
Thanks for your help on this!
