Ridgewood NJ, Here’s a good story about two of our alumni. Dave Madden, RHS 1999 and Laura Fleming, RHS 1977. Congratulations!
“The National History Bee and Bowl was established by 1999 alumnus David Madden. Ridgewood High School held the very first tournament in May, 2010, and the contests have grown by leaps and bounds under David’s direction. The New Jersey State Championship was held at RHS on Saturday, January 16, 2016. There are now dozens of tournaments held every year spanning more than twenty countries on four continents, with the national championships held in Arlington, Virginia in April. Last year’s RHS History Bowl team finished 9th in the country. Pictured here with David is Laura Medici Fleming (RHS 1977), RHS history teacher and adviser to the History Bowl teams.”
