EHS Students Attend Academy of Freedom Scholastic Contest

By Cody 

Friday, December 11, 2009, 19 students from Eastland High School participated in the Douglas MacArthur Academy of Freedom Scholastic Contest at Howard Payne University in Brownwood. The students, after competing in various UIL-styled tests with no prior preparation, placed first as a school above other participating schools.

After a free breakfast reception, Eastland students spent the day taking multiple-choice tests on such varied subjects as American Government and English Grammar. Participants were also treated to a free game of bowling at the local Academy Lanes bowling alley.

Students who placed in individual events were: Wenjing who placed 2^nd in Algebra, Cody who placed 1^st in Literature, Ryan who placed 2^nd in Psychology, Cody who placed 1^st in Texas History, Riley who placed 1^st in Biology and 2^nd in Chemistry, and Jacob who placed 3^rd in Chemistry.

While the scholastic contest was not affiliated with UIL, the Eastland students excelled in the academic competition, bringing home several medals and a first place school trophy.
