Local Middle School Students Compete in 3rd Annual Mike Bradshaw Math Contest at CCC&TI

Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute recently hosted the 3rd Annual Mike Bradshaw Middle School Math Contest where 7th and 8th grade students from Caldwell Online Academy, Gamewell Middle School, Granite Falls Middle School, Happy Valley School, Hudson Middle School, Kings Creek School and William Lenoir Middle School competed for top individual and team prizes.

The Granite Falls Middle School (GFMS) Teams swept the competition and took the top prize for both 7th and 8th grade. Individual winners in 7th grade were Paige Randall (GFMS), 1st place; Mateo Morales (GFMS), 2nd place and Charlie Hatton (HMS) in third place. Eighth Grade individual winners were Alexander Alm of William Lenoir Middle School (WLMS) in 1st; Jenna Griffin (HMS) in 2nd; and Cody Wilcox (HMS) in 3rd place.

An invitation to the competition, now in its third year, is extended to each of Caldwell County’s middle schools. In total, 64 students participated in this year’s mathematical showdown named for former CCC&TI math instructor, Mike Bradshaw. Bradshaw taught mathematics at CCC&TI beginning in 1993 and retired as STEM Department Chair in 2015. The competition was renamed in his honor in 2023 by his former colleagues to honor his years of service at CCC&TI.

Congratulations to these students on their outstanding performance at this year’s contest.
