More than 1,000 high school students from across the United States, including Homewood students Jonathan Brown, Sammy Jane-Akson (team captain), Jordan Blow and Eden Harris, recently converged in Washington for a weekend full of history competition. This annual National History Bee and Bowl National Championship featured 198 teams and more than 800 students from all across the country, and as far away as Guam and international schools from London and Tokyo.
Over the course of the weekend, students competed both with their school in “bowl” events (pitting teams of four students against each other) and individually in “bee” events (pitting students against each other in head-to-head competition).
Homewood’s History Bowl Team is sponsored by Linda Delahay.
