DOVER—
A group of dedicated St. Thomas Aquinas High School students recently competed in the 39th annual New Hampshire State Math Meet held at Plymouth State University. Sponsored and coordinated by the New Hampshire Teachers of Mathematics (NHTM), this 4-hour mini-marathon challenged students from 56 high schools throughout the state in a competition for supreme bragging rights to mathematical mastery. The problems were particularly challenging this year, so that advanced analyzing and problem-solving skills were put to the test in order to arrive at the correct answer. The results of the competition were announced this past week and the St. Thomas “Mighty Mighty Math Team” was victorious.
Representing St. Thomas this year were sophomores John Hume (Dover), Hyungee Kim (international student from Korea, hosted by a family in Exeter), Yeeji Kim (international student from Korea, hosted by a family in Dover), Richard Li (international student from China, hosted by a family in Dover) and Ben Mardin (Rye), juniors Joon Choi (international student from Korea, hosted by a family in Berwick, ME), James Klingensmith (Nottingham) and Matt Radford (Brentwood), and senior leaders Nathan Dunn (Berwick, ME) and Surbhi Joshi (Rochester).
