State Literary Rally
By: Ryan Hernandez
Every year, Archbishop Shaw participates in the Louisiana Literary Rally in February. This year, Archbishop Shaw sent twenty-seven students to compete in the District Literary Rally at Nicholls State University. Of those who went, several students qualified to participate in the State Rally at Louisiana State University on March 24th. Each student took tests in their respective categories to show their knowledge, vying against others in this competitive environment. Nine Archbishop Shaw students were awarded the honor of advancing to compete at the state competition, and one managed to place in that competition.
The nine students who attended the state competition were Hayoing Cao (8th grade pictured above), Algebra I; Ethan Van (8th grade), World Geography; Jace Weileman (9th grade), Spanish II; Jordan Nguyen (10th grade), Algebra II; Don Tran (10th grade), Geometry; Jacob Labove (11th grade), Principles of Business; Lorn Bourgeois (12th grade), Spanish IV; Rommy Muhsen (12th grade), Physics; and Joseph Nguyen (12th grade), Psychology. Hayoing Cao placed 2nd overall in Louisiana Division 3 for Algebra I. Everyone who participated should be congratulated for being the best of the best in the state of Louisiana.
