UPDATE: The JCC Academic Decathlon team has qualified for the State Competition in Omaha on Feb. 19th-20th! JCC placed 1st at the Regional Competition and finished 2nd Place in the Small Schools Division across the state. Congratulations!

On Saturday, January 16 the Academic Decathlon team competed at Regionals at Lincoln Pius X. The main topic for USAD this year is India. Each student took tests over art, music, literature, economics, science, and math. Each test they have 30 minutes to complete. All the tests except math have 50 questions. The math test has 25 questions.

At the end of the day, six of the students participated in Super Quiz. Two students at a time go up in front of a crowd and answer ten questions. This is repeated with the next two, then the final two. These questions were over the history of India.  Our JCC students answered 13 of the 30 questions correct. This may not seem like a very good percentage, but we did receive 1st place out of the 6 teams participating.

Listed are the medals the students received.
