Hundreds of Sacramento County high school students on more than two dozen teams competed in the 2015 Sacramento County Academic Decathlon.
Folsom High have been invited to join first-place finishers Bella Vista High and third-place finisher Pleasant Grove High at the California Academic Decathlon from March 20-21 in Sacramento.
To prepare for the Academic Decathlon, students devoted months of study to the 2015 theme: "New Alternatives in Energy: Ingenuity and Innovation." Students competed for awards in 10 demanding categories: economics, art, science, social science, language/literature, mathematics, music, essay, interview, and speech.
