Academic Decathlon is an annual high school academic competition organized by the non-profit United States Academic Decathlon. The competition consists of seven objective multiple choice tests, two subjective performance events, and an essay. Gold, silver, and bronze medals are awarded for each individual event and team finishes. The Academic Decathlon program promotes student achievement and provides the opportunity for students to realize the potential of their intellectual ability to appreciate the value of academic pursuit.
This is the fourth year for the Academic Decathlon at Prout. The club started out with five students in 2022-2023 and this year had 30 students.
