CSC’s 51st Scholastic Day drew 1,457 high school students to campus Friday, marking the first time since 2005 that such a high number participated in the college’s annual academic competition.

High school students from South Dakota, Wyoming, and Nebraska, participated in a number of tests in several disciplines including math, History, journalism, photojournalism, business, and the sciences.

In addition to the exams, a variety of campus clubs sponsored several events as part of the day’s activities.
