The 44th Annual SWCC Math Contest was held on April 26 at Southwest Virginia Community College. 160 high school students from the following schools participated: Graham, Richlands, Ridgeview, Castlewood, Grundy, Honaker, Tazewell, Council, Hurley, Mountain Mission, and Twin Valley.

Students competed in subjects including Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Algebra 3 and Trigonometry, and Calculus. The Math Contest provides a platform for high school students to demonstrate their mathematical skills.
