When it comes to learning history, Nysmith 7th Grader Ariana B. is making history by competing so successfully in the International Academic Competition’s buzzer-based quiz events in recent months.
She finished second in this past weekend’s US History Bee after having been a semifinalist in the National History Bee earlier this year. Those showings earned her a spot in the International History Olympiad to be held next summer in Quebec.
Her “historic” run of success has also included a 2nd place finish in the National Black American History Exam and a 3rd place spot for the National Women’s History Exam. Congratulations Ariana!
Also competing in these prestigious IAC events this past weekend were: 8th graders Babiha B., Nikhil K, Jianting L., and Sophie O.; 7th grader Deepthi K.; 6th graders Colin S., Wyatt S., William Y., and Yifei Z.; and 5th grader Om K.!
