This year's contest involved the participation of some 18 000 very knowlegeable students in American schools worldwide. Results packages will be mailed by mid April. Enclosed, you will find the list of your students' results, the school champion's medal, and certificates for students who scored above the national average. The national average this year was 52. Please check your list and present certificates to all students with a score of 52 or more. The student achieving the highest score is your school champion and the medal recipient.
Please try to award certificates and medals at an assembly or at graduation ceremonies to recognize the academic achievements of your students. Scores may be given to students at your discretion.
