Academic Decathlon 2019-1 (Period 1)

ACADEMIC DECATHLON COURSE DESCRIPTION:

There are lots of wonderful academic competitions out there.  You can go prove you’re the best writer, or the best physicist, or the best speller. Academic Decathlon isn’t about any of that, though. It’s not about demonstrating how good a student you already are. It’s about daring to push your limits, to master college-level material and to practice skills, like public speaking, that might be wholly new to you. It’s about the people you’ll meet along the way—the coaches who will mentor you, the competitors who will challenge you, and the teammates who will become your lifelong friends.
