The 2022 East Ridge Geography Bee may have been the most competitive ERMS Bee ever, lasting until the 20th round, which has never happened before.
Nineteen students, all of whom took a written Geography Placement Test and qualified, took part in this year's competition in front of the entire student body.
Declan G. became the first sixth grader in East Ridge history to win the Geography Bee, edging out seventh-grader Andrew C. and eighth-grader Shesh S. in the 20th round.
According to Social Studies teacher, Will Boylan, this was by far the longest Bee in recent memory. The social studies department could not be more proud of all of the brave contestants and their amazing classmates who cheered them on and showed support during the entire assembly.
