High School Bowl Championship April 1, 2008 at SC eTV studios
High School
Bowl is an academic competition for high school students
in grades 9 through 12 in Richland County School District
One. The purpose of the competition is to encourage academic
excellence and acknowledge the academic achievements of
the students in our district.
The competition
is patterned after College Bowl, a nationally televised
academic bowl between colleges that was popular in the
1960’s. The contests are held in rounds with each
high school being represented by one student from each
grade level. Through the process of elimination, one
team of students is selected as the district winner.
The winning school will receive a plaque denoting its
achievement in the competition, and the members of the
winning team receive district honor medals and certificates.
The
competition in our district is unique. The Information
Technology Specialists and teachers in
each school sponsor their school’s team. Not only
are our academically talented students involved, but students
who have an interest in the television broadcast field.
These students serve as camera operators and audio technicians
for the competition.
The competitions and semi-final rounds are held in
the district’s television studio at the Waverley
Annex and are videotaped for later broadcast over
Time Warner
Cable Channel 12. All competitions begin at 10:00 am.
The championships match is taped at the South Carolina
ETV
studios and broadcast on both ETV and Time Warner Cable
Channel 12. |
