We are grateful to him for his continued support and recognition of the Decathlon team. Under his leadership,this will be the 2nd time we have taken a team to state to represent San Bernardino. About the Program-Arroyo Valley has participated in the Academic Decathlon program for 12 years. We have place in the top ten schools for 7 years,and we have placed in the top 5 for the last 5 years. The students begin their preparation for competition in the spring when the topic is announced. All Decathletes are enrolled in the summer school program for 4 weeks. All Decathletes are then enrolled in a 7th period Decathlon class that meets every day in the fall. Beginning in November,students stay for practice after their 7th period class. In December, students meet for seven days from 9:0o in the morning to 3:00 in the afternoon for practice. Students are enrolled in a 2nd semester period 7 Decathlon class and continue to meet after school in January and February until 5:00,and they meet every Saturday in January for six hours a day. The amount of time spent preparing for this competition well exceeds zoo hours. Academic Decathlon consists of 10 events-the students write an essay in 5o minutes,give a prepared 31/2 to 4 minute speech,and deliver a 1 1/2 impromptu speech,students give an interview,and take 7 subject- 5o question M/C tests in art,economics,music,math,language and literature,social science, and science. Lastly, students participate in a Super Quiz event where they answer 12 questions on six subjects in front of a crowd of people(think Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?). Students are recruited for the program out of their 9th and loth grade classes. In November,all participating Decathletes engage in a scrimmage which will determine their placement on a team. Students must be placed in a category according to their GPA. For instance-A team of 9 students must consist of 3 students with GPAs of o to 2.99.3 students with GPAs of 3.0 to 3.74,and 3 students with GPAs of 3.75 to 4.0. Students with the highest scrimmage scores in each category will be placed on the Varsity team. The rest of the students will be placed on Junior Varsity teams or will become alternates. Our Junior Varsity team this year placed 2nd! The team members are:Robert Nguyen,Jose Gonzales,Aaliyah Ricks,Isabel Villalobos, Rene Hernandez,Aimee Orozco,Nathan Swedlove,Elizabeth Orozco,and Juan Perez. Robert placed ist in interview with a perfect score of l000,Jose placed ist in essay,Rene placed ist in art,Aimee placed first in economics and she placed ist in her entire division, Juan placed first in economics,and first in essay,and Elizabeth placed first in Language and Literature. Thank you very much for this opportunity. The students are very excited to be recognized and to meet you.This is a wonderful honor and we are very pleased that we can attend,and that we will be representing the city of San Bernardino in Sacramento on March 14th-i7th.
