Orange County Academic Decathlon

Orange County Academic Decathlon Inspiring academic excellence through competition, critical and creative thinking, communication, and collaboration. Visit: www.ocde.us/decathlon

OCAD is, like its ancient Greek counterpart, a 10-event contest. Unlike the Greek decathlon, however, OCAD is an academic, rather than an athletic, competition and a team competition as well as one for individuals. Participants demonstrate their academic strength by completing seven written tests, writing an essay, delivering a prepared and an impromptu speech, and participating in an interview. T

he exciting Super Quiz oral relay is a team event held before a live audience. Each team consist of three “A” (honor), three “B” (scholastic), and three “C or below” (varsity) students. Awards are presented to the top teams as well as the top individual students in each event. The highest scoring team represents Orange County at the California Academic Decathlon competition. Academic Decathlon is the ultimate college preparation experience. OCAD Facebook Group Rules:

1. Be Kind and Courteous - We're all in this together to create a welcoming environment. Let's and remember that everyone's local program is different, and we're here to learn from one another.

2. No Hate Speech or Bullying - Make sure everyone feels safe. Bullying of any kind isn't allowed, and degrading comments about things like race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender or identity will not be tolerated.

3. Respect Everyone's Privacy - Being part of this group requires mutual trust. Authentic, expressive discussions make groups great, but may also be sensitive and private. What's shared in the group should stay in the group.
