Chicago Christian High School is excited to announce the return of our Middle School Scholastic Bowl Tournament. What is Scholastic Bowl, you might ask? This is a game in which teams of 2-5 students compete head-to-head to answer questions from a variety of topics, including history, literature, fine arts, pop culture, current events, etc. (Click HERE for more information.) The best part about Scholastic Bowl is the use of a buzzer to answer the questions! The event will be run by members of the Chicago Christian High School Scholastic Bowl Team, 2019 IHSA Scholastic Bowl Champions.
We would like to invite your school to participate in the 4th Annual CCHS Middle School Scholastic Bowl Tournament on Saturday, November 4, 2022. What are the steps to participate?
Reserve a spot for your team. To reserve a spot for your school, simply reply to this email. The first 10 schools to respond by October 1, 2023, will get to play.
Find a staff member to organize your school’s team and start talking to your students about Scholastic Bowl to get them interested.
Get a team together and start practicing. You can go to the NAQT website for more information about how to get practice materials and other resources. (https://www.naqt.com/ms/). You can also anticipate a follow-up email from Chicago Christian High School with more information about how the Scholastic Bowl competition works.
