What our teachers are saying…

“In the pursuit of excellence, we do not compete against others; instead, we pit our abilities and our audacity against our idealized selves. As we push harder, go farther, and move faster, we extend our limits to the point where what was once impossible is now possible, where what was once unthinkable is now within reach. In this way, we slowly conquer the doubt within ourselves. Only in doing so can we savor the magnitude of our success.”

Mr. Justin Boyd, the 23-24 High School Principal

“Competitions can bond our community and instill pride in the skills of our students that they have worked hard to develop.  It is wonderful to see our students challenge themselves in a competition founded and led by students themselves.  Problem solving is one of the core pillars of SJA.  This competition is a showcase of the passion our students have towards being problem solvers.  That passion ultimately serves our community and potentially our world.”

Mr. Eric Beck, the 23-24 Middle School Principal
