Academic Decathlon

As we welcome the LAUSD Academic Decathlon JV students to the 2020-21 Objective Tests competition, we want to take a minute to recognize the tremendous job students, coaches, support administrators, volunteers and BTB staff have done during this year’s Virtual Speech and Interview competition. Thank you to the more than 350 decathletes that took part in the Speech and Interview events. Thank you to the coaches for helping decathletes adjust their speeches and interviews to the new virtual reality. Thank you to the Beyond the Bell staff for managing over 750 speech and interview appointments after school in one single week. Thank you to the sixty-eight volunteers that spent more than 270 combined days, or a total of 685 hours, judging LAUSD decathletes’ speeches and interviews.
