Four MRHS Students Receive Honorable Mentions in Moody’s Mega Math Challenge
Four students in the Business Administration Learning Center at Marlboro High School received honorable mentions in this year’s Moody’s Mega Math Challenge. The students were guided by their teacher John Nesi.
The honorable mentions went to seniors Rhea Rijhsinghani, Andy Gao, Tyler Merzer and junior Alan Shenkerman.
According to its website, Moody’s Mega Math Challenge spotlights applied mathematics as a powerful problem-solving tool and as a viable and exciting profession. Participating students are encouraged to explore their mathematical modeling know-how to position themselves for success. The specific real-world problem that is posed each year is unknown to participants until they login during Challenge weekend. The Challenge, which is entirely Internet-based, was first conducted in 2006 in the New York City metropolitan area and after a series of managed expansions is now available throughout the entire US and its territories.
The Business Administration Learning Center, located at Marlboro High School, offers a four-year program of study to a limited number of academically motivated students who wish to develop their interests in the areas of business and management. The program is focused through the study of targeted courses, which include finance, management, economics, law, and computer technology. Classroom activities are regularly augmented by guest lectures, field experiences, and close affiliations with business and industry.
Students are encouraged to apply and practice the academic knowledge gained in the classroom through participation in various competitions sponsored by the Future Business Leaders of America and the Federal Reserve Bank. These co-curricular activities, as well as other opportunities afforded by our close proximity to financial and corporate institutions in the greater metropolitan area, play an integral role in students’ personal and academic growth. Students will be prepared to attend a college or university with a foundation secured in human relations skills, rigorous academic training, and an appreciation for both social and ethical responsibility.
