The day before the National Football League crowns a new Super Bowl champion, hundreds of Sacramento County high school students will compete in the local “Super Bowl of Smarts.” A total of 24 teams will compete for Academic Decathlon champion honors at Inderkum High School on Saturday, February 6. Starting in the morning with individual and group tests, this year’s Sacramento County Academic Decathlon concludes with a live Super Quiz showdown at 3:45 p.m. Super Quiz questions will cover the topic: “The French Revolution.” Serving as the 2010 Super Quiz-Master is Fox40 LIVE Morning Host Paul Robins.
Admission to the Super Quiz at Inderkum High School is free. The public is invited to attend. Hundreds of spectators and participants will scream in excitement as they witness triumphs and defeats during the fast-paced Super Quiz. Questions are read aloud, game-show style, and scores immediately posted. Each team’s Super Quiz score will be added to points earned by its members throughout the day in a variety of subjects: economics, fine arts, science, social science, language, literature, mathematics, music, essay, interview and speech.
Sacramento County’s overall top scorers (who win Gold, Silver or Bronze medals) will be announced at the countywide awards banquet Tuesday, February 9, at 6 p.m., in the ballroom at CSU Sacramento. SAFE Credit Union will provide $10,000 earmarked for scholarships to selected Sacramento County Academic Decathlon participants.
