A huge thank you and congratulations to every student who competed!
These achievements highlight the dedication, knowledge, and teamwork our students demonstrated throughout the school year.
Even more inspiring than the medals was the way every competitor embodied our core value of Character Before Career. Students willingly assisted with setup and cleanup, helped locate missing materials, supported teammates and other schools, and showed kindness and respect to everyone involved—from fellow competitors to coaches and proctors. This level of sportsmanship and responsibility makes us incredibly proud of who they are as individuals, in addition to their academic successes.
