Opening Days are a “Challenge”

In the opening days of school, students in the high school participated in a Granite State Challenge style competition between classes. Organized and run by math teacher, Jon Powell, the questions were compiled by teachers from material students had after last year’s classes.

It was a great way to start school for faculty and students—a good refresher and warm up for the days to come and also a way for interested students to compose a team to represent the school.

After two weeks of intense practice with veteran Coach Powell, the Sant Bani School Swans travelled to NH Public Television studios in Durham to face Lin-Wood Public High School “Lumberjacks” in a one-round elimination Granite State Challenge tournament. Thanks to alternate teamates Caleb, Erik, and Dylan for being ready to jump in. The taping date was Tuesday, September 22nd with two air dates of Wednesday, October 7, and Saturday October 10. NHPTV hosts the event online as well.
