Paideia Shines at NAQT Small School National Championship Tournament

May 3 2023

Paideia’s Varsity quiz bowl team submitted the best tournament performance in school history, reaching the Final Four as a tournament semifinalist.

Following their Georgia State Championship earlier this spring, the 2022-23 team built on the strong legacy they inherited from previous players, carrying the program to even greater heights. The team advanced under the guidance of captain and graduating senior Rohan Chanani and fellow senior Winston Stukes, both of whom have been members of the program since 7th grade. Teammates Emerson Moore (who narrowly missed tournament All-Star status by finishing as the 14th-ranked individual player among nearly 300 players), Rohan Ramalingam, Brendan Brown and Michael London were essential to the team's success and will all return next year to lead the team as seniors.
