The Armuchee High Academic Decathlon team was crowned champions in the Floyd County Schools Academic Decathlon competition held virtually last week. Jack Robinson of Model High was the highest-scoring individual participant this year. The theme for questions in this year’s competition was “Water: A Most Essential Resource.”

As the first-place finisher, Armuchee High will now represent Floyd County Schools in the state competition in February. Second place finisher, Model High, as well as Coosa High and Pepperell High, will now wait to see if their point totals will qualify as Wild Card entries.
