On April 14, 2012 the MESA Club visited Chapman University for the annual competitions of Math and Science. These bright minds took the win by receiving 1st place on the Team Math Quest. Last year they were fortunate to take 2nd place but this year they studied and put some extra effort to make it all the way to the top. Even though it was only 30 questions, those questions tested every skill of mathematics they have learned. For example, subjects like Pre-Calculus, Math Analysis and Trigonometry. 
By working together they succeeded in winning a very diverse competition for FHS. An interview with Brian Rodriguez, revealed advice and insight on the rigorous competitions, "Very difficult, if you don't take your time you just overlook, make little mistakes, it's more time management." Next year is a new year for the MESA club and FHS will be expecting nothing but the best from their club members. Students this year are showing more Pride and Ownership than ever in academics. This winning is one of many ways students are putting Firebaugh High on the map!
