“A big thank you to all of our coaches,” La Verne Heights Principal Patrick McKee said.  “They did an amazing job working with their teams. Also, thank you Principals Jason Coss (Lone Hill), Derek Bub (Bonita High School), and James Ellis (Gladstone) for proctoring and the District’s Director of Educational Technology Kris Boneman for helping us to go digital. I truly appreciate all of your support.”

The competition consists of three rounds including Conceptual Understanding, Problem Solving, and Computational/Procedural. Scores are calculated from a combination of the results in all three rounds. While students waited for calculations, students from San Dimas High School presented a Science Fair for the competitors and their families.

“We have an amazing group of coaches who work hard behind the scenes helping to make this event a success,” La Verne Heights Principal Patrick McKee said. “They collaborate monthly as a coaching committee, sharing ideas and resources. They truly believe in the spirit of collaboration because we want all teams to be prepared and successful. We truly believe we are Bonita ‘Unified,’ and we unify to create the best teams to move forward to represent us at the county level.”
