Academic Decathlon
RECENTLY AT LAUSD’S ACADEMIC DECATHLON
As students and coaches return to school, whether it be in-person or online, the LAUSD Beyond the Bell Academic Decathlon will be available for you regardless of the public health situation. Last year's historic Academic Decathlon was the first time taken online instead of the traditional paper form. We are taking the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of our students while also providing them with a unique academic experience.
The 2020-2021 Academic Decathlon will take place between January 15th through February 21st. Competition format (face-to face, hybrid and/or online) will depend on the public health situation at the time of events.
We look forward to this year's exciting topic of The Cold War, and wish all our students, and coaches a successful school year!
