The first round of the 2025-2026 UNM-PNM Statewide High School Mathematics Contest, was held earlier  this month on November 7-10. A total of 447 students from 34 schools participated. Although select online participation was possible, almost 97 percent of the students participated in-person at one of 17 test sites in Albuquerque, Deming, Las Cruces, Lordsburg, Los Alamos, Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, and Zuni. 

Almost 200 students are invited to the second round that will be held on Saturday afternoon, February 14th, 2026. There will also be a public lecture at 10:00 AM on the 14th given by Professor Elizabeth Gross, University of Hawaii at Manoa.

Our Chair said "I thank the organizers, Stephen, James and Cristina for making this happen, with a large investment of their energy and time. The reach across the state and across schools, and the increase of in-person participation since Covid is significant."
