Academic Decathlon

Moderators: Mrs. Galas and Mr. Garcia
Aca Deca is a competition in which nine students use their knowledge of all academic areas in competition. Tests are taken, questions are answered, speeches are given, essays are written and scored and the culmination is the Super Quiz. Super Quiz is a competition among all the schools and individuals where, in a verbal questioning format, students ring in to answer questions. CCHS has competed in the Academic Decathlon for many years.

Science Olympiad

Moderator: Ms. Parry
Science Olympiad is a county-wide competition testing their knowledge in all areas of science. The team comes in smiling and ready to work after school and on Saturdays to prepare and practice for the competition. Students then compete taking tests, making presentations, and using models built for the Science competition. The students gain valuable experience using the Scientific Method in a competitive environment. CCHS students and teams have been successful in past competitions.
