On February 5th, upper school CHC Math Club members (aka Mathletes) competed in Christopher Newport University’s 19th Annual Math Competition. This competition consisted of over 100 students from the Hampton Roads community.

Now in its 19th year, Christopher Newport’s annual Regional High School Mathematics Contest brings some of the brightest students in Virginia to the University to compete for bragging rights and prizes.

The competition includes individual and team rounds, and math faculty and students participate as proctors and graders. Participants get a chance to visit campus and experience a college math department in action. It’s just one way CNU celebrates and shares their knowledge and helps educate the next generation in the value and beauty of mathematics.

Congrats to our math club and its members!
