Four Da Vinci Academy Graduates are National Merit®
Semifinalists
The Da Vinci Academy Class of 2009 boasts four National Merit®
Semifinalists in the 2013 competition. Nearly 1.5 million
seniors in approximately 22,000 U.S. high schools entered this
contest by taking the Preliminary SAT (PSAT). About one-third
of the 50,000 high scorers are notified of their semi-finalist
status and most will go on to compete for top honors.
We are so proud that 4 students from the Class of 2009 have
achieved this recognition!
Keith Kimberling - IMSA
Jackson Michuda - IMSA
Hannah Werman - St. Charles North High School
Ian Wilkinson - IMSA
We wish you the best of luck in the final stages of
competition!
Victory for Da Vinci Academy at MathCounts® on December 1,
2012
Da Vinci Academy practically swept the Junior High Math
Contest at St. Francis High School on December 1, 2012!
Sammy Zeng & Joe Bartusek tied for first place
8th grade individual with perfect scores of
20. Seventh grade awarded only 1st and
2nd places, but if they had given a
3rd place award it would have gone to Noah
Hood.
We had two teams; Joe Bartusek, Noah Helm, Mylene Ferrer, Ben
Simon and Owen Michuda and they tied for first place, but we earned
2nd (tie-breaker rules). Our other team of
Sammy Zeng, Noah Hood, Max Martin and Brett King didn't place but
they were 6th out of 16.
There are overall school awards that are a combination of the
best team score and the best 4 individual scores and guess
what? First Place: DA VINCI ACADEMY!
Great work team. Special thanks to Ms. Detzler for
coaching our students to victory!
