On Thursday, April 28, on the UNC-Greensboro campus, 23 Smith students participated in the Finals of the NC State Math Contest. The contest is divided into three levels, depending on which high school-level math course the student is taking: Level 1 (for Math 1 students), Level 2 (for Math 2 students), and Level 3 (for Math 3 students).
Smith students were crowned State Champions in all three divisions and placed several other students in the Statewide Top 10. Congratulations to the following students:
Level 1:
Leo deJong (State Champion)
Jack Xu (8th place)
