SPARTAN ACADEMY

 On this Saturday, February 23, 2008 students from White Station competed in the Tennessee History Day competition at the University of Tennessee.  Tensions were high as schools such as Lausanne, Ridgeway, St. Agnes, Snowden, and St. Benedict piled in through the suites at the Autozone Park.  Students from White Station included tenth and ninth graders from Mr. Whitehead and Mr. Moore’s world history classes.  As each students confidently prepared for their presentations, the competition lightened up.  The projects included displays, dramas, and presentations.  Each had its own floor and sections. The judging was important to the overall grade, almost as important as the project itself.  The first rounds were announced early, and many White Stationers went on to runner-ups.  And some, such as Sanhitha V. and Melissa  S.  went on to state immediately for being the only senior presenters.  Other presenters include groups such as Medina K. and Angie L., Bhavna K., Sahaj S., Alex. A. , and individual presenters such as Gina S. and Rena L.
