Students of Japanese Excel!

On Saturday, February 27th, 42 students from the Scripps Ranch High School Japanese Program took part in the annual Japanese Cultural and Academic Proficiency (J-CAP) competition. Wearing their custom SRHS quiz bowl t-shirts (courtesy of Justine Shin and Michael Choung), students excelled in all aspects of the competition: the Jeopardy-style quiz bowl, the “create your own manga” exercise, and the cultural workshop on sumie Japanese art. At the end of the day, students took home 1st and 3rd place in the 2nd year group and 2nd place in the 4th year group, boasting the highest number of top finishing teams among all schools. Yoku dekimashita! Go Falcons! Congratulations Mr. Blackwelder!
