Family Math & Pi Night - THANK YOU!

Thanks so much to all who attended Family Math & Pi Night tonight - what a great turnout! Families bid on a chance to have their student smash a pie in Mr. A's face - he was a great sport! The winning bid was $60! 💰💰

The Pi recitation competition was fierce! Our 5th grade winner came in 2nd place reciting 379 digits (she learned an additional 117 digits in the afternoon after a practice run of 262 digits earlier that day during school 😳)

Our 6th grade champ can claim back to back 2016/2017 victories, and this year recited an ASTOUNDING 531 digits! Unbelievable! 🏆  Both students are winners in our book! Congrats to all who participated in the competition! 🎉🎉🎉

Thank you so much to our volunteers and generous pie donors. 🍰🍕🍪 Yum! Dessert was fabulous! 😉

Alumni News! Reposted from ARHS PGO:

Congratulations to the JETS Teams!

This has been an outstanding year for Amherst Regional High School’s JETS Engineering Club. The club entered five teams (40 students, grades 9-12) into the national Test of Engineering Aptitude, Mathematics, and Science (TEAM+S) and won Best in State at both the 9^th/10^th grade and 11^th/12^th grade level. All six teams finished in the top 10% nationally.

Our top finishing 11^th/12^th grade team consisted of seniors: Brody Lynch, Liam Brandt, Michael Kamlarz, Jonathan Hosea, Solomon Rueschemeyer-Bailey, Dennis Shen, Nathaniel Corp, and Jacob Kaplan.

Our top finishing 9^th/10^th grade team consisted of: 10^thgraders John Dinsmore, Alvaro Borrell, Doug Eveleigh, Aleksa Kosanovic, Alexandra Patton, Eric Thompson-Martin, Nathan Ji, and 9^th grader Tim Demling.

ARHS has competed in the TEAM+S competition since 1989. TEAM+S is a national high school academic competition formally sponsored by the Junior Engineering Technical Society and recently taken over by the Technology Student Association. More than 1,000 teams of students compete every year in a fun and fast-paced competition that inspires creativity, teamwork, critical thinking and valuable insight into the world of engineering.  The theme of this year’s competition was “Engineering the Tools of Innovation.” It challenged students to use their engineering and design skills to address pressing issues currently faced by computing and information technology industries.
