Dear Academic Decathlon Coaches and Team Members: Welcome to the 2007-2008 competition year of the Utah Academic Decathlon. Congratulations to Park City High School for their 2nd Place finish in the Small School Division at the 2007 US Academic Decathlon Competition held in Honolulu, Hawaii. I look forward to joining our top high school at the National Competition to be held in California at Disneyland this year. In this web site you will find a Study Guide to get you excited about this year. It is a great resource for new coaches and the start everyone needs. Please refer to the Utah Academic Decathlon state web site at www.utad.org or the United State’s Academic Decathlon web site at www.usad.org for additional information. Our goal is to communicate the importance of academic achievement by motivating high schools in Utah to sponsor Academic Decathlon teams. There is no better way for a high school to shine in academics than to let their students showcase their abilities in the areas of Essay, Speech and Interview, Art, Music, Mathematics, Science, Social Science, Super Quiz, and Language and Literature The Academic Decathlon is unlike any high school event. Students compete in everything we value in the working community. This year’s state competition will be held March 6-8 at Dixie State College. If you have any questions, please call the UAD State Director, Ed Rogers, at (435) 652-7729 or email him at erogers@dixie.edu. This year’s topic is “The Civil War.” We welcome all Utah high schools to take part in learning something special about this place we all call home. Sincerely, Edwin F. Rogers, Jr. |
