Creekland Middle School for the second consecutive year earned the top trophy at the Cherokee County School District Middle School Academic Bowl!
Mill Creek Middle School’s team placed as runner-up at the event, which was organized by CCSD’s Office of Curriculum & Instruction and sponsored by the Cherokee County Educational Foundation. Teasley Middle School placed third.
The event, which qualifies winners for regional competition, provides all of CCSD’s middle school academic bowl teams an opportunity for head-to-head competition to answer questions from all areas of knowledge including history, literature, science, fine arts, current events, sports and popular culture. The matches feature a blend of individual competition and team collaboration while reinforcing classroom lessons and encouraging players to go beyond their assignments to master other knowledge areas as well.
“Congratulations to our outstanding academic bowl teams - we’re proud of your dedication to learning,” Superintendent of Schools Dr. Brian V. Hightower said. “Thank you to all of the educators and parents who serve as coaches and volunteers and to CCEF for supporting this valuable extra-curricular opportunity.”
