Congratulations to our High School Academic Team, both team members and coaches. We learned yesterday that our team placed in the Overall Top 10 in Indiana for our class in the recent area competition. The overall total includes scores from all of our 6 teams (Math, Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, Fine Arts, & Interdisciplinary). This is a great honor for our entire team who has worked very hard this season. We want to offer continued good luck to our Math team who will compete in the Indiana Academic Team State Finals at Purdue University on May 7th.
