National History Bee Finals

On June 1st through the 4th 2017, four CHP students, Vikram Regananthan, Anush Polamraju, Ananya Gangavarapu and Nishta Gangeddula, competed in the National History Bee finals in Atlanta GA. Nearly one thousand qualifying students from all over the United States were invited to compete in a variety of events that featured written exams and fast paced group-buzzer question sessions. After 4 days of intense competition, all four of our students finished near the top of their respective divisions. Vikram and Ananya reached the quarterfinals, with Vikram placing 54th out of 366 students in the Elementary Division and Ananya finishing 56th out of 317 students in the 8th Grade Division. Simply making it to an exclusive event such as this was a great achievement, and we are very proud of our talented CHP classmates.
