Hicksville Students Compete in National Geographic Geography Bee

Students at Hicksville Middle School competed in the annual National Geographic Geography Bee, coordinated by social studies teacher Kevin Kerley.

Students first competed in class, and those winners went on to the following round, the school level bee. Each grade level produced one winner, and the three grade level winners competed in a final round. The sixth-grade winner was Esmerelda Merlos, the seventh-grade winner was Emily Cuellar and the eighth-grade winner — and eventual building winner — was Vincent Manco.
