Academic Team

Academic team plays a fast-paced, competitive team game quizzing students on their knowledge in the areas of math, science, literature, social studies, and fine arts, with a few sports and popular culture questions thrown in for fun.  Academic team is a MSHSAA activity so teams participate in district and state competitions, and students can earn letters.  The Helias team participates in 10 – 12 Saturday tournaments and two online tournaments each year.  Practices are held two or three days right after school from mid-October through mid-April.  If you enjoy TV shows such as Jeopardy or Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, you’ll like academic team.  Shelley Swoyer is the moderators of the Academic Team.
