Congratulations to Xavier Charter School's teachers and students on taking first place in the state competition of the U.S. Academic Decathlon held in Boise, ID, in March. The United States Academic Decathlon is a national organization that has been around for more than 40 years. Its mission is to promote learning and academic excellence among students of varying achievement levels by developing and providing multidisciplinary academic competitions. Students compete in ten events. Jolynn Heiner, NWPE member, and fellow academic decathlon coach with Elizabeth Copp, also an NWPE member, reported that this was the first time they had heard about the program and had the chance to go to state. “To perform like we did our very first year in the program is pretty astounding.” KMVT News covered the state awards here. Jolynn is pictured bottom right in the front row of the team picture.
