Dear AHSME friends,

The 1996 AHSME broke a North Carolina record--more than 8,000 students participated, in the 150 participating schools across the state. We are delighted that North Carolina had over 200 honor roll students.

Thanks to each of the following:

All exam managers for registering, administering and, most of all, for doing the super teaching which enables students to develop their problem solving abilities.

Terry Hartman of the UNCC computer center for his great help putting this report together.

Walter Mientka and all of his staff in Nebraska for doing the registration, mailing, and centralized scoring.

Sarah Dean, a student at NCSSM who fulfilled her community service responsibility by helping with the AHSME and AMC in North Carolina.

Hoechst-Celanese Corporation for sponsoring the beautiful AMC plaques to be presented at the state NCCTM meeting in Greensboro in October.

The top school in each division and exam managers are as follows: 4A NC School of Science & Math Julie Graves

3A North Buncombe High David Beaver

2A Manteo High Frank Vrablic

1A Lejeune High Rose Brown

Independent Charlotte Country Day Tim Timson

Jr./Middle Ligon Middle (Raleigh) Patricia Martin

Congratulations to the top schools in their divisions and their exam managers.

Cordially,

Betty and Harold Reiter
