Three rising juniors at South Forsyth High, Sean Dai, Ethan Kim and Vijeth Mudalegundi, won individual medals and a school trophy at the recent Mu Alpha Theta math competition in Dallas, Texas. The students placed 10th in the School Bowl Alpha division, competing against 51 other U.S. teams and one from South Korea. The team was awarded a Chapter Grant enabling the school to send a team to the national competition, said Linda Wright, South's math department chair.

The local chapter offers a middle school math tournament each fall and provides free math tutoring to SFHS students .
