February is Black History Month. Today, Rho Kappa, the National Social Studies Honor Society honors: 
Thurgood Marshall. Thurgood Marshall led the Brown v Board of Education case to the Supreme Court, who ruled that separate schools for blacks and whites was indeed unequal. Later, Thurgood Marshall became a Supreme Court justice, the first African American to do so. He also worked as a member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for over two decades.  
                                                                 
The Science Olympiad team traveled to Brown University for an Invitational this Saturday and blew the competition away. The A team won first place by an outstanding 46 points.

Outstanding performances were from Thomas Strelecky, Bhavana Gunda, Eugenia Yi and Neal Shah who each placed in all 3 their events. Next up for the team is the State competition in April.
