The local schools represented were North Rowan High School, Southeast Middle School, Corriher Lipe Middle School, Sacred Heart Catholic School and Graystone Day School. Local students who qualified to move on to the regional run-offs were in Algebra I: Jacob Fink and Janssen White both of Southeast Middle School; and in Geometry: Drew Welker, Gillian Gulledge, and James Parkhill, all of Graystone Day School.
