IN THE NEWS! ALUMNI NEWS! #MTHS (2003) / #Lazar / #Hilldale Alum - Nikhil Joshi Wins Big on Jeopardy! "Joshi also had complimentary words for his education in Montville Township. 'A big shout-out to the teachers from kindergarten through 12th grade,' he said. 'A lot of Jeopardy is ‘Did you learn things in school? Do you remember things from school?’ It’s not crazy, esoteric stuff. A lot is basic U.S. history and science. I think about European history in 12th grade and my science classes, like biology with Mr. Brick. That really prepared me to be on the show.'” See STORY & PICS at #MontvilleTAP: www.montville.net/montvilletapmthsalumonjeopardy
