About the Academic Team

The academic team competes in the annual Governor's Cup competition, which promotes, rewards, and recognizes academic achievement throughout the state.  Governor's Cup consists of eight events: five written assessments in arts and humanities, language arts, math, science, and social studies; composition; quick recall; and future problem solving.  The season runs from September to February, composed of weekly quick recall meets, a district competition, regional competition, and state competition.
