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?
