Our Upper School Math Team had an exceptional showing on the national stage this month, demonstrating incredible skill, collaboration, and determination.

The team made an incredible run in Math Madness 2025, an NCAA-style national tournament where teams have just 30 minutes to tackle 7–8 challenging math problems. Competing in the top Division I bracket, our Chargers advanced to the Sweet Sixteen, defeating Myers Park (Charlotte) and The Harker School (San Jose, CA) before narrowly falling to High Technology High School (Lincroft, NJ).

Please join us in congratulating these outstanding mathematicians for their sharp problem-solving skills, teamwork, and determination:
