KEY ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS
SCISA Math Meet
Congratulations to our Upper School Math Teams for delivering an outstanding performance at the 2026 Division I SCISA Upper School State Math Meet last Friday. Competing against 20+ teams from across the state, the Cyclones rose to the challenge in an event that tested both precision and speed. Team #1 (pictured above) captured an impressive second-place finish, and Charlie S. led the team as the top scorer. PG Team #2 had a successful showing as well, and Davis S. earned 9th place overall in the individual rankings. Go Cyclones!
