Math Field Day

Math Field Day is more than just a competition—it’s a cherished tradition that brings together nearly 400 middle and high school students from across Citrus County for a full day of math, teamwork, and spirited collaboration.

Students work in teams to solve complex, higher-order questions, applying the knowledge and strategies they’ve developed throughout the school year. It’s an opportunity not only to showcase academic skill, but to build resilience, think critically, and share ideas in a fast-paced, supportive environment.

The event fosters school spirit, encourages collaboration, and nurtures a deeper interest in mathematics—all while building confidence and camaraderie among students.

Hosted at the West Citrus Elks Lodge, the day includes breakfast and lunch for all participants, generously provided by the Lodge. Nearly 90 administrators, teachers, and staff members volunteer their time to ensure the event runs smoothly and leaves a lasting impression on every student.

A fan-favorite tradition is the annual t-shirt design competition, where students submit original designs in hopes of seeing their artwork featured on the official event shirt. All first-place team members receive a custom event t-shirt featuring the winning design and a commemorative blue medallion.

With over 30 years of success, Math Field Day continues to be a meaningful and memorable experience for students, educators, and volunteers alike.
