HHS QUIZ-BOWLERS SCORE HIGH IN THE KNOWLEDGE MASTER OPEN

Coach and Social Studies teacher Bill Murphy writes: Congratulations to the Hanover High School Quiz Bowl team for their performance in the spring Knowledge Master Open. Hanover ranked 21st out of 652 reporting schools; that put HHS in the top 3% nationally. We finished 6th out of 128 schools with enrollments from 500-1000; and first in New England out of 27 schools.

Knowledge Master Open is a national contest in which teams of high-schoolers answer as many multiple-choice questions as they can in a set time period. The team gets the questions at school on computer, and arrives at its answers together. The questions cover every field from math to history to literature to trivia.
