Academic Decathlon
In addition to the schedule listed above, I assist head coach Mr.
Steven Mercado and Chaffey High School's Academic
Decathlon Team as they prepare for the 2012 San Bernardino County
competitions to be held next January and February. My principal areas of involvement are mathematics,
science, speech, and interview.
In the 2011 San Bernardino County Academic Decathlon,
Chaffey earned a second place finish.
After finishing second four years in a row, the Tigers had finished in
first place in 2009 and 2010. Thus, Chaffey has finished in the top two
each of the past seven years. Mr. Mercado published this
summary of the 2011 County
competition results.
Chaffey joined Redlands High School (the county winner), Arroyo
Valley High School and Chino Hills High School at the California State
Academic Decathlon Competition on March 12-14 in Sacramento. Chaffey finished 20th
out of 65 teams competing.
This year's competition will take place at
Arroyo Valley High School in San Bernardino. The speech, interview,
and essay portions of the competition occur on Saturday, January 28,
2012 with the objective portions including the Super Quiz relay following on
Saturday, February 4. Individual, event, and team winners will be
announced at the county banquet to be held at the National Orange Show event
center in San Bernardino on February 9.
