Academic Decathlon
Rock Roberts

We participate in a national program that focuses on academic achievement. Every year, United States Academic Decathlon decides on a theme and curriculum materials are developed. In November, a regional competition takes place at three different sites across the state. The top 17 teams qualify for state competition which takes place in March. The winner of the state competition represents Massachusetts at the national competition. Students involved in Academic Decathlon study for and take exams in science, math, language and literature, social science, economics, art, and music. During the state and national competitions, students also give a prepared speech, an impromptu speech, write an essay and participate in an interview. For more information, one can visit the official website, http://www.usad.org.

We have official meetings on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but study groups are also held on Mondays and Wednesdays. All meetings are held in room 152.
