SHS Sophomore Wins Shakespeare Showdown
Congratulations to Aden Brooks, a Schenectady High School sophomore who took first place in the Albany English-Speaking Union 2008 Shakespeare competition held at the William K. Sanford Town Library in Colonie.

Brooks, who played the lead in the high school's production of Godspell last week took the top spot in the Shakespeare showdown from more than thirteen students from across the Capital Region.  Contestants recited selections from Shakespeare's plays and sonnets.

Brooks will advance to the national competition in New York City.
