Washington Wins Scholastic Pursuit Tournament

A team of eight students from Washington Elementary won the annual WCPSS Magnet Programs Scholastic Pursuit Tournament last month. As part of a nine week elective, teams of students from grades three to five from six Wake County magnet schools prepared for the tournament competition.

Teams competed from Fuller Gifted and Talented Magnet Elementary, Hunter Gifted and Talented Magnet Elementary, Powell Gifted and Talented Magnet Elementary School of the Visual and Performing Arts, Washington Gifted and Talented Magnet Elementary, Wake Forest Gifted and Talented Magnet Elementary, and Wiley International Elementary Magnet School

At the end of the three preliminary rounds, Hunter and Washington had the two highest scores qualifying for the final round. Washington won the close contest in an auditorium before a full audience and earned the Scholastic Pursuit trophy for the next year.

Approximately 25 administrators from various Central Services departments helped out serving as tournament officials.
