The Tampa Bay Chapter of the Florida Surveying and Mapping Society honored students from two St. Petersburg high schools for excellence in trigonometry.

They took a one-hour test written by the National Society of Professional Surveyors and finished at the top of their classes. They are eligible to participate in a state-level trigonometry test and could compete for the national championship.
