Scholastic Challenge is a fast-paced contest that pits school against school, in an exciting tournament that tests students' knowledge of academic trivia. Teams of three or four students measure their ability to recall details from a wide variety of topics.
Thank you to coaches Sarah Wood and Jim Wood.
