Friday, March 27, Alliance High School shipped two buses full of students to Chadron State College to take tests for the annual scholastic day contest. Alliance had a total of twenty students place in the top twenty-five percent of the tests and ended up in the first position of division II with 7.1 points.

Walker Johnson ranked 11^th in Advanced Mathematics. Anthony Hare ranked 2^nd in American History. Lauren Block ranked 6^th in Human Development and Family Life. Branson Stinnette ranked 3^rd in Photojournalism. Cody Henderson ranked 5^th in Veterinary Sciences. Chris Wright ranked 2^nd in Art Drawing. Wright commented, “I would’ve won it if I would’ve had time to finish.” Here at AHS we have no doubt about that! Maggie Otto ranked 3^rd in Business Communications and Vocabulary with Veronica Duran for a tie. Anthony Hare also ranked 2^nd in Business Information Systems. Bethany Baker ranked 1^st in Literature. Aydin Mack ranked 3^rd in Music. Shayleen Behm ranked 9^th in Nutrition and Family Health. Jorgen Johnson ranked 18^th in Plane Geometry. Christa Horn ranked 1^st in Teaching Presentation. Xiayue Liu ranked 7^th in Trigonometry. Bailey O’Connor ranked 6^th in Business Law. Anthony Hare ranked yet again in Personal Finance at 3^rd this time. Garret Schmid ranked 14^th in Physical Education Sports Knowledge. Lane Applegarth ranked 2^nd in Algebra I. Bethany Baker ranked 2^nd in American Government.

The prize for 1^st place is full tuition for one year, but this only applies to seniors attending Chadron State College. This would only apply to senior Christa Horn who commented about winning, it’s “weight off my shoulders because that’s money I don’t have to pay.” Alliance did extremely well and on behalf of the SPUD we congratulate all of the students who placed and the students who travel to compete in scholastic day!
