The Academic Decathlon is an academic competition open to high school students from all school districts in Sacramento County. On February 4, 2017, hundreds of students, teachers, and community volunteers gathered at Inderkum High School in Natomas for the 38th Annual Sacramento County Academic Decathlon. This year’s theme was “World War II.”
During the event, student decathletes participate as a 9 member team against other schools. The most exciting and visual part of the competition is a high-energy team event called the Super Quiz, which is open to the public. Teams of students are seated at desks on a gymnasium floor and answer questions posed by a moderator. The correct answers are flashed on a large screen. Hundreds of fans sit in the bleachers look on and cheer loudly as if they were watching an athletic competition.
