On March 4th, six students from Homer High School traveled to Tompkins Cortland Community College to take part in the High School Challenge. Seniors Jasminique Harris, Sarah Medhi, and Liam Whalen returned for their second year, while juniors Erik Gustafson, Ali Jenkins, and Lukas Pizzola participated for the first time. The students were coached by Mrs. Stokoe and Mr. Patriarco.
The Quiz Team faced three other high schools from Central New York. Through a series of formatted rounds, the teams each strove to earn the most points. Questions spanned across a broad range of topics, including sciences, mathematics, languages, art, literature, history, and pop culture. The Homer Quiz Team won two out of three matches on the first day, earning enough points to advance to the next level of competition. Returning to TC3 on March 12th, the Homer Quiz Team faced the highest ranked team and, after a well-played game, was eliminated from the competition.
Congratulations to these students for their success in the competition, and thank you to Mrs. Stokoe and Mr. Patriarco!
