Model UN is a simulation of the United Nations General Assembly. This program introduces students from around the country to diplomacy, negotiation, and decision making. Students become “ambassadors” from a country that is a member of the UN. As ambassadors, or delegates, students prepare draft resolutions, plot strategy, negotiate, resolve conflicts, and follow the rules of an actual UN procedure.

BHS Model UN participates in three events during the school year: Iowa Youth Symposium, Student Voice Rally, and UNI Model UN Conference.

In the past five years, various Ballard Model UN participants have been awarded the following distinctions: Regional Outstanding Delegate, Iowa Youth Symposium Outstanding Delegate, IHSMUN Outstanding Delegate, and author of IHSMUN Outstanding Paper.
