Since 2007, every spring and fall our students take part in the NYSMATYC Math contest. In the fall of 2007 our Math team did pretty well. A student from the Grant campus scored second place in New York State. Our team placed first in the College and thirteenth in the State. Not bad for such a young team. If you want to join the Math Team of the Grant campus, you just have to come to our training sessions and to the competition. Our training sessions take place on

Wednesdays, 11:15 – 12:15, Room HSEC-A115 (we usually serve snacks).

The FALL 2010 NYSMATYC Math Contest will take place on

TO BE ANNOUNCED (sometime in November).
