The middle school academic team from St. Joseph School, a Catholic school in Crescent Springs, scored seventh out of 332 teams at this year’s state Quick Recall competition in March.
Called the Governor’s Cup, the state competition features both individual and team events, including a writing competition and assessments in five different academic specialty areas.
The Quick Recall competition consists of team-based Jeorpardy!-style contests, where students have to be the first to ring a buzzer after being posed questions in the five academic specialties. This is the second year St. Joseph School made it into the top 8 in the competition and the highest position the school has ever achieved.
This year’s middle school team members are listed below:
- Harrison Atzinger – 8th Grade
- Charlotte Breetz – 8th Grade
- Georgia Falhauber – 8th Grade
- Luke Weber – 7th Grade
- Henry Hinzman – 7th Grade

“Congratulations to a hard-working team and their coaches!” said Principal Sally Zeck in an email.
