SMHS SENIOR AHMAR ARSHAD PUBLISHES RESEARCH
in the NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL JOURNAL of SCIENCE
Remember this name: Ahmar Arshad!
17 years old and already a published academic! His research on Quadratic Reciprocity was selected & published by the National High School Journal of Science on December 20, 2023. Needless to say, it's quite an impressive feat!
Please take a few moments to read his paper attached below.
No doubt that you'll be as impressed as we are!
BLUE KNIGHTS SEIZE CHAMPIONSHIP VICTORY with LAST-SECOND TRIUMPH in
the HOLIDAY CLASSIC TOURNAMENT SHOWDOWN
If you happened to be one of lucky spectators at the girls' varsity championship basketball game between Sandwich Blue Knights and the Duxbury Dragons on Friday night, you're most likely sitting fingernail-less and still reeling from the excitement of such an incredible game. Our KNIGHTS were masterfully relentless & Madison Lawrence sunk the winning shot to beat the buzzer and clench the tournament! Congratulations to all players and Coach Barrett on an amazing performance.
While SMHS chilled on winter break...
Our student-athletes turned up the heat on the ice, the mats and the courts!
It's been a very busy week of athletic contests for our student-athletes. Both boys' and girls' hockey teams played well in the Gormley Cup. Congratulations to the boys team for winning it! SMHS Wrestling Team attended a tournament in Marshfield and SMHS hosted the Holiday Classic Basketball Tournament with the boys varsity team placing 2nd and the girls team with the win!
GO KNIGHTS!
