Fairmont 8th-Graders Win Academic Titles
Fairmont Junior High School students showed their mental mettle recently at the Orange County Academic Pentathlon, earning two region championships in the eighth-grade competition.
The school sent two eighth-grade teams, as well as two seventh-grade teams, which finished second.
“We are so proud of our pentathlon team members, who have continued Fairmont’s winning tradition in this competition,” said Mike Halasz, school director.
The pentathlon tested team members in five subject areas, including math, essay, science and literature. The school has been among the top three in the countywide competition since 1991.
