Clarksville, TN – After advancing through two phases of online competition, the Kenwood High School JROTC Academic Team composed of Justin Bair, Orlando Moore, Alexis Jordan, and Phoenix Sims will compete in person at the Championship event in Washington, DC.
The 2018 U.S. Army JROTC Academic Bowl Championship will be held on the campus of The Catholic University of America, June 22nd-26th, 2018.
This event is sponsored by the U.S. Army Cadet Command, JROTC Headquarters and is conducted by College Options Foundation.
Kenwood Highs JROTC team earned top scores out of the 1,393 Army JROTC teams that competed from around the world, putting them in the top 3 percent of teams. The team is one of only thirty-two Army JROTC Academic Bowl teams in the nation to advance to the National Academic Bowl competition, which includes an all-expense paid trip to the Championship event in DC.
During the two fast-paced preliminary rounds, students were tested on their knowledge of JROTC curriculum, English, Math, and Science. One of the main goals of the JROTC Academic Bowl is to prepare students for state exit/graduation exams as well as college entrance exams, such as the SAT and ACT.
The winner of the U.S. Army JROTC Academic Championship will compete against the winners of the U.S. Air Force, Marine Corps, and Navy JROTC Academic Bowls in the JROTC Joint Service Academic Bowl Championship.
