About
Academic Decathlon
Academic
Decathlon
is a national organization in which students compete in ten different academic
areas: math, science social studies, language/literature, essay, speech,
interview, economics, music, and art.
Super
Quiz is a competition in which one of the ten categories is transformed
into a Super Quiz competition topic wherein students learn about a facet of
the general topic in great detail. During competition, teams compete both
in written testing and in a public setting.
The
other academic areas also are structured each year to reflect an overarching
theme.
The team is made up of A students, B students, and C students.
In competition, students compete with other students in their GPA designation.
