This is our fifth year of participating in this competition, and we’ve now won four times and placed second once! This is quite a testament to our Math program at University School, and the credit goes to our Math teachers in all three divisions: Mrs. Brockman, Ms. Donoghue, Mrs. Elmore-Williams, and Mrs. Thompson. Our students also benefit from our individualized approach to the subject. In the Middle School, for example, students take classes at the level where they need to be. This includes 8th graders taking Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, and Algebra II. No other school in the state does this.
Congratulations to the teachers and the students, and our gratitude to SCISA the Sumter County Civic Center for hosting this event!
