St. Patrick School Junior High Academic Decathlon Team
1st Place in Diocese
5th Place in State
The St. Patrick School Junior High Academic Decathlon Team won 1st place overall, of 21 schools competing in the 2007 San Diego County Junior High Academic Decathlon.
Their win earned them a spot in that state decathlon in Sacramento. The team
placed 5th overall there. They placed in almost all the individual events,
but most important to note is the overall finish.
Subject areas in both competitions included: Super Quiz, Logic Quiz, Current
Events, Literature, Math, Science, Fine Arts, Religion, Social Studies, and
English.

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 (Art and Music). 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 March each year.
