Clubs

The Academic Team is a competitive scholastic team. There are two parts to the Academic Team season:  From September to the end of January, the team participates in the Northern Kentucky Academic Team League.  This consists of weekly Quick Recall competitions, which is comparable to "Quiz Bowl" or the television series Jeopardy!  Teams are permitted to seat four players at a time, though they may have as many players on the 'side lines' as they wish.  After the “regular” season is Governor’s Cup season. (There is one Gov Cup event we participate in during the month of November for freshmen and sophomores only entitled JV Challenge)  Governor’s Cup consists of high school teams competing in Quick Recall, but also individuals from the schools competing in written assessment tests (Math, Science, Arts & Humanities, Language Arts, and Social Studies), composition and FPS.  The Academic Team meets on Monday after school. Regular season matches occur on Tuesday after school, with tournaments throughout the season (usually on Saturday.)

The Junior High Academic Team is a competitive scholastic team that competes in weekly Quick Recall matches. In addition to Quick Recall matches, the team also participates in the Governor’s Cup competition. This event occurs after the regular season and includes Quick Recall matches and written assessment tests in math, science, arts & humanities, language arts, social studies, and composition. The Junior High Academic Team practices on Thursdays after school until 4:30 P.M. Regular season matches occur on Wednesdays after school.
