The 52nd Annual John Steiner Gold Mathematics Competition was held at Bucknell University on March 12. Mr. Brian Leslie accompanied eight students from SCA to compete against almost 150 students from 22 schools. The 2-hour exam, which prohibits the use of calculators, consisted of 36 challenging questions from many areas of mathematics. The overall mean score of all 151 students was 11 out of 36, while the median score was 8 out of 36; that shows the difficulty level of these questions.
The students from Southern Columbia who participated were Makayla Baylor, Joanna Chen, Aiden Eby, Braylon Feese, Josh Knoebel, Austin Shaffer, Mara Turner, and Will Victory. Southern's top scorer was Aiden Eby who received a certificate and a mathematics book as a gift.
The 53rd Annual John Steiner Gold Mathematics Competition will be held on March 11th, 2026.

Students in Ag 1 are learning about different components of Food Science. Last week, they learned about the process of fermentation. Students combined yeast, sugar, and hot water together to produce enough carbon dioxide to inflate balloons on their water bottles. The hot water works as an activator for the yeast and the sugar acts as a food source. The food science industry and food production are crucial parts of the agricultural economy in Pennsylvania.
This dedicated group of 11th and 12th graders volunteered their time every Wednesday after school to tutor 3rd and 4th graders in math and reading. Their tutoring sessions began in December and successfully concluded for the year on April 9th. Thank you for your commitment and hard work!
Agriculture Science 1 students learned the proper steps to make butter. The students poured heavy cream into jars and shook them until the cream separated into buttermilk and butterfat. After all the shaking, they poured the butterfat into a strainer, pressed all the excess butter through the strainer, and then stored it in small jars. The processing time can vary depending on the person making the butter. Some students took about 4 minutes, while others took about 8-10 minutes to shake until the butter was ready.
