Aca Deca

Academic Decathlon

Moderators: Mr. Garcia & Mr. Guina

Aca Deca is a competition in which nine students use their knowledge of all academic areas in competition. Tests are taken, questions are answered, speeches are given, essays are written and scored and the culmination is the Super Quiz. Super Quiz is a competition among all the schools and individuals where, in a verbal questioning format, students ring in to answer questions. CCHS has competed in the Academic Decathlon for many years.

Our Academic Decathlon team competed against 10 other schools in Stanislaus County!

Please join us in celebrating their hard work & success!
