Four students from Alexander City Middle School recently took part in a math tournament held by Southern Union State Community College, joining another middle school and 19 high schools in an algebra I contest. For the third year in a row, the ACMS algebra I team claimed first place in the large school division, and first place overall in algebra I.

“This is technically a high school competition,” ACMS math teacher and math team coach Susan Green said. “They have competition levels for algebra I, geometry, algebra II, pre-calculus, calculus and one they call comprehensive for high school seniors.”
