Seventh grader Lucas Graham won Goff Middle School’s annual History Bee on Friday in front of a packed gymnasium. He was one of 15 students who participated in the competition by answering questions about U.S. and world history. Brian Tobin and Teddy Howard came in second and third place, respectively.
The contestants qualified for the History Bee by scoring the highest on a school-wide preliminary quiz.
Mr. Graham won the bee by getting four of the five correct answers on the final question (Name the 5 people who were president of the United States when Congress declared war.” Answers – James Madison, James Polk, William McKinley, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt.)
Congratulations to all of the participants!
