 Academic Decathlon is an honors elective course that is aligned with district and state standards and supports the school wide efforts in increasing student achievement. Like its ancient Greek counterpart, consists of ten events. However, this is an academic, rather than an athletic, competition and a team competition as well as one for individuals. In a typical day long Decathlon, high school students are tested in seven areas: economics, art, language and literature, mathematics, music, science and Super Quiz. In addition, students amass points in three communication events: the prepared and impromptu speech event, the oral interview and essay writing events. This year’s theme for all ten events is WWII.
