The Smith-Cotton JROTC Academic Team consists of two teams, with 5 people in each. The teams compete in three bowls a year consisting of Math, Science, English, Current Events, and JROTC curriculum. Competitions are against every other Academic Team in the nation. If the team qualifies in the first two bowls, the team earns a live quiz bowl competition in Washington D.C. against other teams who qualified for Nationals. Practice starts on Nov 1 and is at 7:00 am with practices every Thursday. Cadets need to practice ACT tests, keep up to date with current events, and study hard. Use www.act.org for practice ACTs, and use multiple different news outlets for current events.
