In Junior and Senior High Knowledge Bowl, teams of students compete in one written and four oral rounds of competition in this interdisciplinary event requiring quick recall and team work. Questions are taken from the standard curriculum for the grades 7-12. Teams participate in invitational, sub-regional and regional events. The top five Senior High Knowledge Bowl teams will go on to compete in the state competition.
