– The Academic Decathlon is a series of interscholastic competitions for high school teams nationwide. The Decathlon encourages, recognizes and rewards academic effort and excellence. The Decathlon tests knowledge and academic skills - but isn’t just for the class genius. One of the unique features of the Decathlon is that each team represents a range of achievement levels. The team consists of three students who have "A" averages, three with "B" averages and three with "C" averages. To prepare for competition, the team members begin working and studying together early in the fall. On competition day, all nine team members take the same tests, participate in the same events, and are judged by the same criteria. The team’s final score depends on the performances of ALL its members. This year’s Academic Decathlon topic is Latin America with an emphasis on Mexico. CLOSED TO NEW APPLICANTS.

During club meetings, members would have the opportunity to contribute to the collaborative process of the performance, includes sharing research and song suggestions. Music would be either karaoke or choral arrangements, and would be learned during meetings and independently. Performances would be scheduled as field trips during school or possibly on weekends.
