Seventh Grader Wins Geography Bee
There was excitement in the air as eighth grade
Humanities Teacher and Master of Ceremonies Craig Copeland
welcomed students, teachers, and guests to the annual
Middle School Geography Bee in Horn Theatre on January 8.
This year’s competition included 28 contestants who
secured their spot on the stage by first becoming the
champion in their social studies class.
The finalists were quizzed on their knowledge of U.S.,
world, scientific, and current events geography, and the
questions became more difficult with each round. After an
hour and a half, representatives from each grade remained on stage: Will K. '23, Ryan P. '22, Owen P. '22, Sarah
T. '21, and Mohammed N. '20.
In the end, seventh grader Sarah T. was declared the
champion after correctly responding “Utah” to the
question: The Great Salt Lake is located in which state
that borders Idaho?
Sarah will take a written test to determine if she
qualifies to compete at the state level in the spring. A
victory there would send her to the National Geography Bee
finals held in Washington, D.C. in May.
Each year, more than 6,000,000 middle schoolers
nationwide participate in the annual Geography Bee, which
is sponsored by the National Geographic Society.
