State Champions!

My Quiz Bowl team won the state championship at Mississippi State on March 24th. We're now representing the state at the national competition on May 26 in Chicago. We had two students, Spencer Bowley and Zach Yoder, who placed second and tenth respectively for individual high scores. This club is awesome. Ben, I've got a short write-up about the event and plenty of pictures available, let me know if you'd like to use any for Teacher Corps purposes

So in addition to organizing my field trip to the Pompeii exhibit in Mobile, Civil Rights club activities including a field trip to Atlanta, regular school duties that include four preps and the upcoming AP Latin exam, and preparing my professional portfolio all in the next month, I now have to find the funds to take our students to Chicago even as I prepare for my new life as a doctoral candidate at Notre Dame. I couldn't have a more bittersweet feeling about leaving - at least I'm going out with a bang.
