Congratulations to Coach Eric Mukherjee, Jackson Green '26, Penelope Graham '25, Daniel Guo '25, and Rohan Ramachandran '25 for their performance at this year's Quiz Bowl State Tournament.
By Ian Dinkins, Assistant Director of Marketing and Communications
The USN High School Quiz Bowl set out to defend last year's title at the Quiz Bowl State Championship on Saturday, March 23, at Tennessee Tech University. During the tournament, the team faced stiff competition. Still, it was able to defeat Memphis’ White Station High School in the final and finish the competition with an undefeated record.
They are now two-time state champions- having won last year, too.
The team will now prepare for Nationals in April in Chicago, where they look to take home the championship after last year's fifth-place finish.
Allison Van Konynenburg returns to USN as Interim HS Dean of Teaching and Learning. Taking on additional responsibilities this academic year, Justin Fitzpatrick is now Interim HS Dean for Academic Affairs and Laura Snow is the High School Academic Operations Manager.
Please join us in welcoming to USN: LS Spanish Teacher Connor Mitchell, LS Music Teacher Marisa Frank, LS Learning Support Specialist MacKenzie Grant, Fourth Grade Teacher Alexis Novotny, Second Grade Teachers Cara Bishop and Lindsay Moates, First Grade Teachers Marisa Depke and Molly Roth '10, and Kindergarten Teacher Ellen Haber '00.
