Academic Decathlon
The Academic Junior High Decathlon is a competition for students in grades 6-8. There are ten events. Two are collaborative team efforts - a logic quiz with 20 rigorous thinking problems, and a super quiz with 50 multiple choice questions on five broad academic themes. The remaining eight events test individual knowledge of the Roman Catholic Doctrine, English, Literature, Science, Mathematics, Current Events, Social Studies, and Fine Arts. Awards are given for individual and team performance, and the winning school team from each geographic diocese competes in a state championship the first Saturday of May each year.
In 2015, St. Linus placed 16th among all of the participating schools in the LA Archdiocese. Eight of our decathletes placed in the top 10 in their individual subjects.
In 2020, St. Linus placed 10th among about 100 schools for super quiz. One of our decathletes placed in her individual subject.
* The AJHD has announced there will be no Decathlon competition this 2020-2021 year due to COVID-19.
