Whittier Mathcounts team going to Nationals
The Whittier Middle School Mathcounts team, coached by Katherine Brooks (assisted by Harold Brooks) won the state championship last weekend! Katherine is a pre-engineering teacher at Whittier Middle School, and both Katherine and Harold have volunteered their time to help the kids prepare for the competition over the last three years. The team was also honored for being “the most improved.”

Two students from the Whittier team, and two from Jenks Middle School in Jenks, OK will represent Oklahoma at Nationals in Orlando, FL on May 9. Katherine will coach the Oklahoma team, and Harold will help.

The MATHCOUNTS Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that strives to engage middle school students of all ability and interest levels in fun, challenging math programs, in order to expand their academic and professional opportunities.There are 224 final Mathletes from 50 U.S. states, U.S. territories, State Department schools and Department of Defense schools.

Congratulations and good luck!
