After finished second and third the last two years, the Sachems won the title this year by one point, 92-91.
For the past three years, Tony Dong has been a member of the Winchester High School Math Team. He, along with senior Jeff Chen and juniors Alex McDonough and Julia Page, have all been on the team since its inception during the 2008-2009 season. Before Dong, Chen, McDonough and Page, along with their faculty adviser, Amy Donovan, started the team, it had been nearly a decade since the school fielded a math team.

But none may be as highly regarded and as important to residents as the success of its school system. Students in Winchester excel in and out of the classroom everyday. Earlier in the year, Ambrose student Ella Ross collected books to donate to South African students. There’s also the ongoing fight to raise money for Winchester High School student - Milan Moosavizadeh. The soccer star suffered a heart attack last May, and the soccer team has rallied around him raising money for his family’s needs through Team Milan. A fellow student of his – Erika Keane – …
