On Wednesday, January 24, these 7 students competed at the Grundy Center Regional Academic Decathlon Competition. Academic Decathlon provides students of all learning levels the opportunity to excel academically through team competition. Students compete against other schools in ten categories: Art, Economics, Essay, Interview, Language and Literature, Mathematics, Music, Science, Social Science and Speech. The central topic for the 2024 competition is Humanity and Technology.
1st, 2nd, and 3rd place ribbons are awarded for individual events and total scores. There are three GPA divisions and each school is required to have students in all 3 to build their team. Honor Category is 3.8-4.0, Scholastic is 3.20-3.79 and Varsity is 3.19 and below.
