Students Earn High Honors in WordWright Competition

Two Archmere students won high honors in this year's WordWright Challenge, a competition for American high school students requiring close reading and analysis of many different kinds of prose and poetry. In the year's third meet, junior Jonathon Lobo made only one mistake and placed among the 58 highest-scoring eleventh graders in the country. At the same time, senior Patrick Reilly, who also only made one mistake, placed among the 89 highest-scoring twelfth graders. More than 58,000 students from 46 states (and four foreign countries) entered the meet.
