Patrick Doran, a seventh grade student at St. John School, won the school-level competition of the National Geographic Bee, which was held at the school on Jan. 4 along with a chance at a $25,000 college scholarship.
The school-level Bee, at which students answered oral questions on geography, was the first round in the 24th annual National Geographic Bee sponsored this year by Google.
Results of the local Bee were: Patrick Doran, 1st place, Nick Schwein, 2nd place and Cade Roberts, 3rd place-all 7th graders at St. John Schools.
This is the 24th year for the annual National Geographic Society event for students in fourth through eighth grade.
Thousands of schools around the United States and in the five U.S. territories are participating in this year’s Bee.
The school winners, including Patrick, will now take a written test; up to 100 of the top scorers on that test in each state will then be eligible to compete in their state Bee March 30, 2012.
All school winners are eligible for a $25,000 college scholarship at the National competition Amy 22-24 in Washington D.C.
