Acton-Boxborough Regional High School is a public high school in Acton, Massachusetts.


History

Acton-Boxborough attended 2012 MIT Fall and finished with a 6-3 record. A team of Victor Pavao, Tom Russell, Sarang Yeola, and Spencer Thrope continued attending regional tournaments. The team of mostly seniors attended 2014 NSC, which along with winning the state's High School Quiz Show competition, increased visibility and membership of the club.

In 2015, a brand new roster of players led by Josh Xiong finished 4-6 and placed 169th at 2015 HSNCT. In 2016, a team consisting of Prat Hegde, Sky Li, and Caleb Trotz finished 32nd at 2018 HSNCT, with an 8-5 record, Acton-Boxborough's best performance at a national tournament. A recording of the devastating loss to McLean can be heard https://s3.amazonaws.com/naqt-static/podcasts/2018-hsnct/17.mp3. At the 2019 HSNCT, a team led by the Sousounis brothers tied for 97th.

The team is currently active and regularly attends online NAQT tournaments.
