The Broadus Academic Olympics teams did a great job this year after practicing for five weeks. All of these individuals gave up their lunch hour once a week to practice. The two day Academic Olympics competition has junior high competing on Tuesday and high school on Wednesday.
The day is split into two sections; a written exam in which students compete individually and as a team and an oral round where teams answer questions in a buzzer round competition. Great job to all who participated and spent lunch hour practicing for the competition. You represented Broadus well. Congratulations!
