Teamwork, Leadership Propel Academic Decathletes Forward
Sage Hill Academic Decathlon team members received several medals during the Academic Decathlon Awards Ceremony on Friday, February 10, 2017. Sage Hill competed in the recent two-day Academic Decathlon event where students write an essay, perform a prepared and impromptu speech, and are interviewed on the first day of competition.
