8 “High School Achievement”
Congratulations to all of you.
Scholastic Quiz
Coach John Wood recognized the
WHHS Scholastic Quiz Team at the
Academic Awards Ceremony of 2010.
Excerpts of his acknowledgement follow.
“Westmont Scholastic Quiz had another
excellent season this year. Westmont
finished third out of 14 teams
in the Central Western Quiz League
and captured the championship of the
annual Science Bowl Quiz competition
held at St. Francis University, with the
help of special advisor and science colleague,
Mr. Stephen Lindberg.
Westmont Scholastic Quiz also had
their best ever performance at a Saturday
NAQT tournament this season.
At the Battle of the Burgh tournament
held on the campus of Carnegie Mellon
University, Westmont finished in the
top quarter of a very challenging field
with an 8 and 3 record while collecting
match wins over much larger schools
such as Moon Area and Altoona High
School.
Westmont also fielded a high
school team for the first time in the fall
and spring Knowledge Master Open
Competitions. The Knowledge Master
Open is a computerized academic
competition in which hundreds of high
schools nationwide compete and work
as a team to answer a wide range of
academic questions. Westmont finished
first among schools of its size in Pennsylvania
in the fall KMO competition,
which was an excellent result for a first
time participant.”
The Scholastic Quiz Team
co-captains Zachary del Rosario and
Megan Mulrooney provided excellent
leadership, and seniors Luke Corona
and Emma Noonan were dedicated
team members who contributed to the
many recent successes of the Westmont
Scholastic Quiz Team.
