On Thursday, March 12th, RHAM High school sent a delegation of Juniors and Seniors to the local chapter of the International Chemistry Olympiad Competition for High School Students at UConn. RHAM representatives included Juniors Sam Young, Nick Aubin, Kelsey Welling, and Kyle Hebert, as well as several Seniors, including Dan Nissely, Michael Shaffer, Ben Reiner, Derrick Hendrickson, and Kirsten Saleem.
Each participant took a 60 question multiple choice test and then each school joined forces to compete in a quiz round. The RHAM team took second place in this contest.
On the whole, RHAM students thought that the experience was beneficial. Junior Nick Aubin said, "It was a good experience because we got to learn things that we would learn in AP [Chemistry], should we choose to take that route."
