Two Students Qualify for National Math Olympiad

Two students from American Heritage have qualified for the Math Olympiad. The first is sophomore Francisco Rivera, for his first time, and the second is senior Bradley Snider, for an amazing third time.

The Math Olympiad is the pinnacle of math competitions. Students must take two exhaustive qualifying tests. The first one is 75 minutes long; success on that one wins students the opportunity to take a second test, which is three hours long. Less than half of one percent (0.5%) of students taking the tests qualify for the Olympiad. American Heritage is the only private school in the state to have anyone qualify.

Congratulations to Bradley Snider and Francisco Rivera for their outstanding performance, thus far. Let’s wish them good luck as they prepare for the grueling two day challenge of the Math Olympiad, which tests them each day for 4.5 hours.

The test for the two students is administered at Heritage under the strictest controls on April 30 and May 1.

For the second consecutive year, American Heritage School students have been recognized by the National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT) and IT Women for their outstanding achievements in high school computer applications and the role they play to encourage more girls to explore the field of computing. 

Talia Statsky-Frank and Alyssa Berman, a junior and senior respectively, are two of twelve south Florida high school girls honored by each receiving the 2013 Southern Florida Affiliate NCWIT Award for Aspirations in Computing. The award ceremony took place at the Citrix Operational Headquarters in Fort Lauderdale on March 7. Alyssa received further recognition for her selection as a national runner-up for the national NCWIT Award for Aspirations in Computing. 

Both Alyssa and Talia anticipate a Computer Science track in college. In addition, the recognition of being a NCWIT award winner is already paying dividends for Alyssa, as she has been offered an internship at Citrix this summer. Both Alyssa and Talia cite that their interest in computing began to increase while taking the “Alice” programming course at the school. Alyssa has taken a variety of the computer course offerings at American Heritage including Web Page Design and Computer Science Honors. Talia is proud to be part of a very select group of female students nationwide who have taken Advanced Placement Computer Science and have passed the exam at a high level. Last year, American Heritage’s Ariel Smith received the 2012 NCWIT award for Aspirations in Computing. Ariel is now a Computer Science major at the University of Florida.
