We are looking for students who would like to compete on the Academic Decathlon team next year. Our theme next year is “The Roaring 20s” and we will be looking at the art, literature, history, music related to the Age of Jazz, as well as the science of electricity and magnetism. Students at competition then compete in exams in these subjects as well as in essay, speech and interview competitions.

Academic Decathlon is unique among academic teams in that we need students of all GPA levels to make up our team. Therefore we are looking for a variety of students and especially need students who have around a 3.0 unweighted GPA over the last two years.

We will have a lunchtime interest meeting next Monday, April 7th, in room 502. We need to form the team now because we start preparing over the summer by reading the novel, The Great Gatsby, and then will have lunchtime meetings in the fall. Hope to see many of you at the meeting.
