Academic Decathlon
Coaches: Diana Harris, Mary Ann Liesemeyer,
Molley Reuland
The United States Academic Decathlon is a team
competition consisting of 4 “A” students, 4 “B”
students, and 4 “C” students who match their
intellects with students at the same level from
other schools. The contest is held by 39 states
and has come to be recognized as the most
prestigious high school academic team
competition in the United States. Since Lourdes
first began competing in Academic Decathlon in
1995, the team has qualified every year to
compete at the state level, working its way
through Regional competitions to get there. At
State the team has placed second or third in the
competition numerous times, but in 2003 they won
the State competition for the first time and
started a run that includes 5 wins and 2 more
runner-up trophies. The team has also competed
in a recently added on-line National competition
against small schools (with a high school
population of 600 or less) and has placed 5th,
7th, and 7th in those competitions. All of the
hard work has paid off handsomely for Lourdes
students, who have won a total of over $40,000
in scholarships over the years. |
