Academic Decathlon
RECENTLY AT LAUSD’S ACADEMIC DECATHLON
On Saturday, November 7th, LAUSD decathletes participated in the Academic Decathlon scrimmage. Considered the first district-wide competition of the season, coaches use scrimmage results to decide who will compete in the official school team and who will be part of the JV team. Decathletes competed in the Scrimmage online from the comfort of their home.
Due to the CONVID-19 situation, this year all competition events will be conducted online. The essay and seven comprehensive tests will take place on January 15 and February 6. For the first time, the Speech and Interview competition will be conducted virtually using Zoom meeting or a similar technology platform, from January 25 th to 29th. Unfortunately, the Super Quiz is canceled this year because of large group gathering restrictions and the uncertainty of the availability of school facilities.
