Middle School: Math Olympiad at Gurrie
Published by Ms. Falout on Feb 25, 2024

The Math Team made an impressive showing at Gurrie this weekend in the Math Olympiad.  

Highland’s Hornets were among 150 competitors from four nearby school districts, and successfully placed in every category.  In the 7th/8th grade individual event, Bianca Berry received First Place. In the 4th-6th grade individual event, Ben Hardesty received First Place, with a tie for second place by Grayson Balash and Michael Magijne.  

In a nail-biting, over-time, multiple tie-breaker finish for the team competition, one group reigned supreme to bring home a 2nd place trophy: Norah Kwong, Naoka Obara, Sasha Andreska, Kaya Andreska, Alaina Jain, and Kiara Berry.

Congratulations to all the participants of the Math Team - it was a proud day to be a Hornet!
