A group of Jericho Middle School students, who have a passion for mathematics and an unquenchable desire to be challenged, represented Jericho in the MATHCOUNTS competition recently.

The competition is comprised of four rounds—each round has a different focus. Speed and accuracy, problem-solving, and collaboration with peers. 

Out of the ten students, six competed individually and four students competed as a team. 

The Jericho Middle School team came in first place in Long Island. Congratulations to the students and coach Danielle Schwirzbin.
