Kellenberg Memorial

Kellenberg Memorial High School made their first quizbowl appearance in 1996 at the Half Hollow Hills West Tournament (Long Island's biggest QU-style tournament) with one team made up of students hand-picked by Bro. Nigel Pratt, S.M., the founder, from the school's National Honor Society. The team won the tournament for the first time ever on Jan. 12, 2008 with the experimental A-team of Marisol Brady, Nik Churik, James Lasker, and senior Kat Monahan.

Kellenberg Memorial is also the only high school that is the subject of a Chip Beall NAC question:

“	Our favorite single question from the 2006 competition follows ... and it represents the first time ever that we've asked a question about one of the competing high schools. "Brother Kenneth Hoagland called off what event at Roman Catholic Kellenberg Memorial High School for what he calls the decadence surrounding the event after watching families charter boats and rent expensive houses for parties?" (Ans. Senior prom) The National Academic Association is proud to salute Headmaster Brother Kenneth Hoagland and their coach Brother Nigel Pratt, not only for bringing outstanding teams every year to Nationals, but also for taking a stand against extravagance and rampant materialism.	„

However, it is not something that the team is particularly proud of.

The team ditched NAC for the first time in 2007 to attend NAQT HSNCT. They went 5-5 and, as a result, did not make playoffs.

The regular A team consists of freshman Nik Churik, sophomores James Lasker and Kevin Oriani, and junior Marisol Brady (captain).
