On January 30, St. Luke’s Middle School students gathered in the Forese Family Fireplace Commons for the annual National Geographic GeoBee State Competition. Ten students in 5th-8th grades pre-qualified to participate in the contest.
St. Luke’s participants answered various challenging geographic questions. After several rounds of elimination, it was down to three final contestants: Dylan West ‘24, Wyatt Patrick ‘26, and Hanna Zable ‘26. In the end, Wyatt won first place after correctly answering all the questions in the final round.
Wyatt then passed a written qualifying test and is now eligible to compete in the 32nd National Geographic GeoBee State Competition as a state semifinalist. The next level of the contest will be a statewide one. The winner of this competition will represent Connecticut in the National GeoBee Championship, which will take place in Washington, D.C., in mid-May.
