The Academics Games Teams belongs to a league in which students from local high schools compete in games involving thinking and strategy.
Students compete for both team and individual honors as members of five-man teams.
The team meets twice a week during the year for practice and competition. In addition to winning league awards in each game, students who participate in all four games may earn a letter and a jacket. Those who are members of championship teams also receive special awards. The highlight of each year comes at the end of April when students who meet league qualifying rules attend the national tournament for one week with approximately 500 other students from the eastern half of the United States. The Academic Games Team recently competed in Propaganda, a game involving techniques of persuasion.
