Two Teams of Archmere Students Earn Highest Cumulative WordWright Honors
The WordWright Challenge is a national reading competition for students in grades 9 through 12 that require analytical reading of many kinds of prose and poetry. It emphasizes perceptive interpretation, sensitivity to language, and an appreciation of style. There are four meets per year but only the scores of the top 10 students at each grade level officially count. The sum of these top 10 scores represents each team's score.
In the cumulative standings at the end of the four WordWright Challenge meets this year, Archmere's eleventh graders placed sixth in the nation and the twelfth graders placed fifth. English Department Chair and Teacher Stephen Klinge supervised the Archmere students. Over 640 high school teams participated in this national competition.
Five of Archmere's students won highest honors for year-long individual achievement: Juniors Rebecca DeHeer and Emily Lugg both placed among the seven highest ranked eleventh graders in the entire country in the year-end cumulative standings, while senior Ryan Nowaczyk placed among the twelve highest ranked twelfth graders and his teammates Amanda Denning and Grace Zhang among the twenty highest scoring at this grade level nationwide.
Students at the school who excelled in the year's final meet, held in April, included juniors Meghan Reilly, Parker Vakili, Audrey Yang and senior Ryan Nowaczyk.
