Village Places Second in NOSB Loggerhead Challenge
The Village School took second place at the "southern Texas regional competition of the National Ocean Sciences Bowl (NOSB)," also known as The Loggerhead Challenge. Texas A&M University's Texas Sea Grant College Program hosted the annual competition at The University of Texas Marine Science Institute on February 18, 2017. According to The Texas Sea Grant organization, "The Loggerhead Challenge is the second of two regional NOSB competitions in Texas this month." Village's team consisted of: Nicholas V., Jerry H., Rohith K., Alex L., Eric L. and coach Mila Taylor
"NOSB is a quiz bowl-style competition, in which students answer questions in all disciplines of the ocean sciences: biology, chemistry, physics, geology, geography and the social sciences. It is managed nationally by the Consortium for Ocean Leadership, a nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C. About 2,000 students from more than 300 high schools across the nation participate in NOSB each year."

Every school is home to exceptional individuals dedicated to making a positive impact on their community. Whether it's through class initiatives, service projects, or independent efforts, students are constantly striving to improve the world around them.
At The Village School, these initiatives shine brightly as students embrace opportunities to lead with empathy and purpose. One such example is a project started by Milan Drummond, a 12th grader with a passion for justice and community well-being. Through her initiative, Harmony Highways, Milan is working to improve relations between the public and law enforcement, reflecting both her desire to make a difference and her career aspirations.
