Four Lexington Senior High Students in the NC Region of the Science Bowl on Saturday, January 28 and brought home another top-ten state finish to put the school second in the NCASA Scholastic Cup standings. The LSHS team competed admirably against even the repeating champions from the NC School of Science and Math, winning three straight toss-ups before the half. They were also able to beat a team from Raleigh Charter School, a school that made it to the semi-finals. Team members were MiKayla Cross, Evan McIntosh, Sethea Seang, and Alexander Leng. The team was coached by science teacher extraordinaire Kristen Wall.
The Science Bowl is sponsored by the US Department of Energy and the NC contest was held in Durham on the NC Central campus. A general opening and introduction was planned for all teams on Friday, and the competition started early Saturday morning and lasted into the afternoon.
It takes an entire faculty to prepare our students for such academic challenges. Congratulations to all teachers at the school who have taught these students, in any subject. Lexington High School has some of the best teachers and students anywhere. We can and will become recognized for our academics if we all continue to work together in our goal of excellence.
