    Congratulations to the Academic Team. They took 2nd place at the Cox Academic County Tournament. They made a valiant effort in the finals and have had a successful season. We were the ones to beat and unfortunately, Niceville did.

    Thank you to all their teachers for the amazing job you do that prepares them for competitions like this.

    Members of the team were: Mathew Bell, Graham Piburn, David Rehr and Brandon Metra.

    We will be recruiting for next year’s team. If you know someone who is interested, please let me know.

    We will have our Knowledge Master Open on April 23 here at school and that would be a great time for anyone interested in joining the team or participating to get to know us.
