On February 10, 2024  RCOE held an awards ceremony to congratulate the winning schools after the fourth round of mock trials. The ceremony showcased the performances of the students with their peers and families. The eight winning teams will be moving on in the competition to be held at the Riverside Hall of Justice where the teams will fill the courthouse and take on their roles.  

We congratulate Palm Desert High school for making “Elite Eight,” who will compete in Riverside.

Congratulations to Alexia Leija from PDHS, Heaven Ortiz from Indio High, Leela Fayssoux from PDHS, Tess Abedi from PDHS  and members who were awarded for their performance during the ceremony.
