MILFORD – Milford Middle School students competed in the final round of the school-level National Geography Bee on Tuesday, Jan. 14.

Sixth-grader Katherine Raiano earned a chance to compete in the state bee on Friday, April 4, after beating out six other finalists.

In December, students in grades 6-8 took part in the class-level bee, and the top seven students were invited to participate as finalists in the school-level round. The finalists were:

SIXTH GRADE: Raiano, Nathan Roach and Kaitlyn Waters.

SEVENTH GRADE: Hunter McGinley and Cameron Meyer.

EIGHTH GRADE: Adrian Curless and Rae Enita.
