Last weekend, four of our Middle School students Caleb Walls, Mia Pettersson, Kai Szopa, & Will Lambert were invited to participate in the The Great History Challenge National Championship, a nationwide academic competition that offers scholarships to winners and is an excellent opportunity for students to highlight their knowledge in history.

The four students who attended Saturday’s competition first completed an online quiz here at Trinity last fall. Their scores qualified them to attend a Regional event in Atlanta earlier this Spring. After receiving high marks at the Regional event, they were invited to attend The Great History Challenge National Competition, which also took place in Atlanta.

We are so proud of our four participants who competed individually against students from all over the country! We are further thrilled to announce that Caleb Walls (8th Grade) was the 8th Grade National Champion! What an incredible accomplishment! Way to go Lions!
