Geography Club advisor, Mrs. Brienza, reports that Trumbull High School won third place at the CT High School Geography Challenge 2026!

The winning team consisted of: Hudson Zentz, Logan Luedtke, Neel Jakka, Sebastian Ramirez, and Mat Lesiak.

The team competed in four rounds of competition: orienteering, problem-solving, map reading and a quiz bowl on this year’s theme: movement. This year, Trumbull’s winning team earned a perfect score on the problem-solving round and finished the task in 7 minutes...a challenge record!!

A shoutout to their second competing team: Parker Zentz, Michael Massaria, Chris Hirscu, Jaineel Ghandi and Prat Sahoo. They also walked away with a perfect score in the problem-solving round.

The team would like to thank the Trumbull ACE Foundation for sponsoring them. From Mrs. Brienza, “We couldn’t find this success without your support!”

The THS Geography Club is happy to report that Hillcrest has won the 4th Annual Middle School Geography Challenge! This makes it two years in a row for Hillcrest!

The winning team included: Lalith Seelam, Sam Hua, Peter Screpetis, Liam Zaveruna, and Alex Longobardo.

The THS Geography Club, especially its officers (Hudson Zentz and Logan Leudtke) and advisor (Mrs. Brienza), would like to thank Hillcrest and Madison for supporting our geography initiative. We believe the event showcases not only the geographic abilities of our Trumbull students, but also the great community impacts of bridging the middle school and high school students together.

Congratulations to Trumbull High School’s We the People coach, Ms. Katie Boland! She was recently honored in Washington DC as the 2026 Street Law Classroom Champion. This national award honors educators who go above and beyond in civic and legal education, helping students engage with constitutional principles, civil discourse, and real-world issues while empowering them to become informed and active citizens. Great job Coach Boland!

Over the weekend, the Trumbull High School Model United Nations delegation attended the National High School Model UN Conference in New York City, competing alongside thousands of students from around the world. Our students truly represented the best of Trumbull High School. They came prepared, carried themselves with professionalism, and stepped up in a big way tackling some of the most complex global issues, and working collaboratively with other delegates throughout the weekend. Great job to all the students and their advisor Mr. LaBarca! 🌎
