The Armuchee High Academic Decathlon team was crowned champions in the Floyd County Schools Academic Decathlon competition in January which was held at the College and Career Academy. Walker Gallman of Model High was the highest-scoring individual participant this year. The theme for questions in this year’s competition was “The American Revolution and the New Nation.”
As the first-place finisher, Armuchee High will now represent Floyd County Schools in the state competition this month. Model High and Coosa High were also invited as Wild Card entries. Wild Card entries are selected based on team point totals from local school system competitions across the state.
