This feat was repeated in 2010, where delegations came from 5 different continents, including a delegation from Ghana. Cape High students took home 15 individual awards, and the "Best Large Delegation" award once again. In 2011, the Model UN team once again reigned supreme at George Washington University's WAMUNC. Cape Coral High School received "Best Large Delegation," and obtained 17 individual awards at this conference in the nation's capital. The website, bestdelegate.com now recognizes Cape Coral High School as one of the most elite Model UN programs in the world. In 2012, the team returned to BosMUN in full force, sweeping the floor and receiving best delegation by over doubling the second place school's score. 20 of the 24 students from Cape Coral High School received awards, and 7 walked away with best delegate awards.

The grades (A-F) are based on three criteria: overall performance on FCAT, percentage of eligible students who took the test, and whether or not students made progress in reading and math. In 2007-2008 school year, Cape Coral High School scored a "B".
