"Academic Decathlon is truly rewarding and has shaped my high school experience. Because of Academic Decathlon, I have become interested in a wide variety of subjects and have become more detail oriented."-President, Edward Trivella

"I wasn’t just competing with others, but with myself.  Even though we compete as an individual on the team, the team camaraderie was amazing, and we all helped each other reach our greatest potential."-Treasurer, Siddharth Easwaran

"I have been doing Academic Decathlon ever since I was in 9th grade, and I can really say that I enjoy it. I have always liked the new topics that we learn about, such as the Cold War and this year’s topic, the American Revolution. I can say that I got to know many new people while doing this club and had a great time doing so."-Vice-President, Sahil Rashemdelal
