DeRenne Middle School’s Quiz Bowl Team recently finished third in the state finals of the Professional Association of Georgia Educators (PAGE) Academic Bowl for Middle Grades held at Georgia College & State University (GCSU) in Milledgeville.
The team coached by Del Scott and Judy Baisden began their Academic Bowl journey as one of 154 teams in 12 regions across the state. DeRenne finished first in the region and first in the semi-final round to reach the competition’s final four. The team drew Duluth Middle School from Gwinnett County (the eventual state champions) in the state semi-final round and lost a close match. They quickly rebounded to easily win their third place match.
The PAGE Academic Bowl features teams of middle school students fielding questions on subjects ranging from Georgia history to mathematics, science, literature and the performing arts. This year, more than 2,000 students from around the state participated in local, regional and state levels of competition.
