The Raiders were coached by faculty member Abby Berler and librarian Branly Fontaine.
Students took multiple exams in a wide variety of topics, including Geography, Historical Geography and American Geography, and they also made time for sightseeing in Washington, D.C. They visited the National Archives, where they viewed a 13th century original copy of the Magna Carta as well as The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution. They also walked past the Capitol Building and had lunch at Union Station. See notable results below:
