Mr. Henegar’s 6th Grade Social Studies classes held their own version of March Madness! Students created brackets to determine the most impactful inventions of the Middle Ages. Here are the highest scorers from each class — no perfect brackets this year, but we’ll be back and ready to try again next year!
