Students of all achievement levels from all over the county participate in the highly anticipated three-day event. Teams are comprised of students from all grade-point averages —Honors (GPA of 3.80 or higher), Scholastic (GPA of 3.20 to 3.799) and Varsity (GPA up to 3.199). Decathletes are challenged to use analytical skills, performance abilities and writing aptitude in seven knowledge tests (Art, Economics, Literature, Math, Music, Science and Social Science) as well as Interview, Speech, Essay and Super Quiz.
