Recently, the World Affairs Council of Greater Hampton Roads hosted its annual World Quest dinner, an academic competition on foreign affairs and global relations. Two student teams and one faculty team were selected to represent the school at the event.

All three teams spent the month before the competition studying dates, important treaties, and people in politics in order to compete against top teams such as Tallwood’s Global Studies Academy students and Old Dominion University’s professors.

Four sets of ten questions were asked on different topics concerning international affairs today. The school’s varsity and junior varsity teams succeeded in answering a majority of the questions correctly, but the faculty team took home the gold.

The teacher team included former student Brian Myers, Ms. Janson, Mrs. Kopacz, Mr. Homesly, Mrs. Faircloth, Mr. Traub, Mr. Girard, and Mr. Belan. The faculty scored higher than all of the teams in the entire competition, including faculty from top universities.

“As a faculty, we love the fact that we won, we were absolutely ecstatic. To beat university faculty was a very nice feeling,” Janson said.
