Dear Archimedean Community,
At Archimedean Middle Conservatory
(AMC), mathematics is incorporated into the young student’s mind as a way of thinking, solving, and growing. Through every competition, our students strengthen the skills that matter most: perseverance, collaboration, critical thinking, and confidence.
This spring, the AMC Math Club (ArchiMath), led by
Mr. Georgios Mitsou, achieved an extraordinary series of accomplishments across
four major competitions: Mathcon, AMC 8, SECME, and MATHCOUNTS. From state-level recognition to national distinction, our AMC students demonstrated remarkable talent, discipline, and perseverance.
Back-to-Back Spring Success
Across these competitions, AMC students stood out in both team and individual performance:
- Mathcon, online (first round occurred Tuesday, 2/24/2026): Three AMC students qualified for the National Finals in Chicago, among 30,000 nationwide mathletes. Archimedean’s Ian Lam earned a perfect score of 300, becoming the first student in Florida to achieve this.
- AMC 8, online (1.24.26): Esteban Quintana scored in the top 1% nationally (Distinguished Honor Roll), and five AMC students scored in the top 5% nationally (Honor Roll), among 100,000 students worldwide.
- SECME at Miami Dade College (2.1.26): On February 1, the AMC Math Team qualified for Finals among 60 schools, and placed 1st in the finals among 7 teams.
- MATHCOUNTS at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, FL (3.20.26): Amongst 42 teams, The AMC team placed 4th in Florida, and Ian Lam placed 4th individually, earning a place on the State of Florida Math Team.
These accomplishments reflect not only mathematical excellence, but also the dedication, teamwork, and confidence that continue to define AMC students.
