Six teams competed in this year’s Columbia competition, representing 2 schools from Columbia (A.C. Flora High School and River Bluff High School) and a school from Gwinnett County, Georgia (Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, and Technology).

The first-place prize was awarded to a team from the Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, and Technology. Second place was awarded to River Bluff High School. Third place was awarded to a second team from the Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, and Technology. The first-place team will go to Washington D.C. in April to compete in the national Academic WorldQuest competition.

We appreciate all the teams, coaches, and parents for coming out and participating! We hope to see you back next year!

Challenge the conventional. Create the exceptional. No Limits.
