Leavenworth High School Scholars' Bowl
What is Scholars' Bowl?
Scholars' Bowl is an academic competition sanctioned by the Kansas State High School Activities Association. Four students at a time compete head-to-head with the students from another team using a buzzer system. The time limit to answer questions is 10 seconds unless paper-and-pencil calculation is required. The sixteen questions for each round of regional and state competitions come from seven categories. One foreign language item is displayed in French, German, and Spanish and players must translate into English. Three questions each are asked from the categories of social science, language arts, mathematics, and science/health. Two questions come from fine arts, and one from the previous year's events.
The Scholars' Bowl season runs from approximately the start of the school year until state competition in February. At LHS over the past two years, the team has practiced twice each week and competed in invitational tournaments throughout that time. Team members are also required to assist with a tournament or tournaments sponsored by LHS and with a tournament for local middle school students.
Any eligible LHS student with an interest in academic competition is encouraged to become involved in Scholars' Bowl. Contact the sponsor (see below) for more information.
