The 52nd Annual John Steiner Gold Mathematics Competition was held at Bucknell University on March 12. Mr. Brian Leslie accompanied eight students from SCA to compete against almost 150 students from 22 schools. The 2-hour exam, which prohibits the use of calculators, consisted of 36 challenging questions from many areas of mathematics. The overall mean score of all 151 students was 11 out of 36, while the median score was 8 out of 36; that shows the difficulty level of these questions. The students from Southern Columbia who participated were Makayla Baylor, Joanna Chen, Aiden Eby, Braylon Feese, Josh Knoebel, Austin Shaffer, Mara Turner, and Will Victory. Southern's top scorer was Aiden Eby who received a certificate and a mathematics book as a gift. The 53rd Annual John Steiner Gold Mathematics Competition will be held on March 11th, 2026.
