Quiz bowl is a game in which two teams compete head-to-head to answer questions from all areas of knowledge, including history, literature, science, fine arts, current events, popular culture, sports, and more.

The defining feature of quiz bowl is the use of a “buzzer system” that lets players interrupt the reading of a question when they know the answer. Those “tossup” questions are answered individually, but doing so earns one’s team a chance at a three-part “bonus” question. The academic team will compete in 4-6 tournaments this year. There is a $50 fee to join. The team meets on every Tuesday during FLEX and Thursday after school from 3:45-5:00 in Room 2308. Please contact Mr. Lentz for more information.

The Youth in Government program helps to create the next generation of good citizens. Through our programs, we demystify local, state and national governmental systems so tomorrow's adults will know how to effect change within these systems. We expand horizons so young people will understand their role within a global society. Students will participate in a Mock Government in November at the State House in Columbia.  Students can be elected officials, legislative leaders, legislators in the Senate or House, mock trial attorneys or witnesses, Supreme Court justices, or appeals attorneys. The conference will be Nov 2-5.  The cost to attend the conference is $520, but scholarships are available to reduce the cost to $345.  Payment plans will be set up through My School Bucks.
