Academic Decathlon is both a class and an academic competition.

Students register for Independent Speech/Communications Applications and receive speech credit.  Advanced AcDec classes include AP Art History, Humanities I and II.  All AcDec classes receive the same GPA credit as an AP class. Scholars from the class will audition for the team of 9 who will compete for scholarships.

The ten topics include: art, music, literature, math, economics, science, social science, essay, speech, and interview.
