Gallaudet University
Who will take home the coveted national Academic Bowl trophy? Which high school has the best and brightest deaf and hard of hearing students in America? Will New Jersey’s Mountain Lakes High School bring home the title for a second straight year?
All these questions will be answered as the 2007 Gallaudet University High School Academic Bowl for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students gets under way with five regional competitions early next year. The top two teams from each region will compete in the national championship April 21-24 at Gallaudet University.
Conceived in 1997, the purpose of the annual Academic Bowl is to foster the pursuit of academic excellence; promote a spirit of academic competition and good sportsmanship; and encourage social opportunities for collegiality among students.
A record 80 schools, 16 in each of five regions, have registered for this year’s regional competitions. Teams of five players answer questions in eight academic categories, closely keyed to the standard high school curriculum. Content areas include current events, deaf studies, the arts, geography, history and government, language and literature, popular culture, leisure, and sports, and science and technology.
The Gallaudet University High School Academic Bowl for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students is sponsored by the JW Marriott Foundation, Sorenson Communications, Verizon, and 3M Corporation.
