The New York Times recently visited Jamaica to do a feature on Ardene High’s participation in the National Spelling Bee. The article will feature Hanif Brown, the Scripps Howard coach and tutor for the National Spelling Bee. Brown replaced Rev. Glen Archer in this position. Nadine A. Molloy, principal of Ardene High, will also be featured in the article in a discussion about the participation of the school in the Scripps Howard competition over the years. Highlighted in the feature will be the historic win by Jody-Anne Maxwell in 1998. Hanif has recently been named head boy for Ardene High School’s 2016/2017 academic year. He has shown superior performance in his academic regime, which includes French, Physics, Spanish, Math, and Caribbean Studies, while also participating in a wide array of co-curricular activities. These include playing on the Manning Cup team.
