🎉 Big News! Our FPS Junior Team is Headed to STATE! 🎉
At HMS, our standard is Excellence— and these students have far exceeded that! We are beyond proud to announce that our Future Problem Solving (FPS) Junior Division team has qualified 1st overall in a highly competitive field of 33 teams from across the state! This incredible achievement qualifies them for the State Competition on March 14, 2025, at the Governor’s Cup State Finals! 🏆
Our Future Problem Solving Team includes:
💡 Gabbi Burkhart
💡 Alivia Eversole
💡 Bryleigh Ward
💡 Ameila Chasteen
Principal Dr. Williams shared his excitement, saying:
"This is a tremendous honor for these students and a testament to their hard work, creativity, and teamwork. We couldn’t be more proud of their accomplishments, and we’re excited to see them shine on the state stage!"
Coach Chris Howard also expressed his pride, stating:
"These students have put in so much dedication and effort to achieve this. Watching them collaborate, think critically, and push themselves to new heights has been incredible. I’m so excited to see them continue to grow and compete at the state level and beyond!"
But the journey doesn’t stop here! If our team finishes in the top 5 at the State Competition, they will advance to the Future Problem Solving International Competition at Indiana University in June, where they would compete against the best problem solvers from around the world! 🌍🏅
Last year, the International Conference hosted 1,263 champions from 12 countries and 242 schools/groups—an incredible experience that we hope to be a part of this year!
Join us in celebrating these incredible students and cheering them on as they continue their journey to success! 👏🎉🐉 #FamilyOfDragons #StandardOfExcellence
