A group of Notre Dame Prep students made history at Sacred Heart University’s 5th Annual Pioneer Open Chess Tournament! NDP Chess Club members Ava Witting ‘26, Khang Dinh ‘26, Robert Bauza ‘26, and Derek Carlucci ‘29 were welcomed as the first ever high school students to participate in the Tournament!
The Pioneer Open hosted several master level chess players to the Open section, where our students participated, as well as a number of up and coming players to the U1800 and U1400 sections.
“We are very grateful to the SHU Chess Team for opening up their doors to allow our Chess Club members this great opportunity,” Head of School Dr. Cipriano commented. “This is another of the many examples of what our new relationship with Sacred Heart can provide for our students.”
