The Cooperstown Central School Quiz Team competed at the National Academic Quiz Tournaments’ National Championships last month for the second year in a row, taking second in the Very Small School division—the highest finish ever by a CCS team—and placing eighth overall in the nation.

Representing Cooperstown were Captain Andrew Miller, Aaron Katz, Kenneth Charles Vinuya, Andrew Olski and Anders Green.
