Academic Decathlon
Academic Decathlon is a nationwide competition pitting teams of 9 students against each other in 10 subjects. Each year a different theme is the focus of study from October through March, when the state competition is held. This year’s theme was “Water: An Essential Resource.” The whole team placed 1st at the state competition. Individuals placed in gold, silver, or bronze within their divisions for some of the 10 individual events. Several students also won medals during the Nationals competitions, with the team scoring 6th for the division. Advisor: Ben Revkin

Global Economic Symposium 

On March 25, high school teams from seven states (Ill., La., Mass., N.J., N.Y., R.I., and Texas) and the District of Columbia competed in the 8th Annual Global Economic Symposium hosted by Blacks on Wall Street and Empower Yourself Ltd. The Global Economic Symposium (GES) is a team- and research-based learning experience for secondary students that requires them to research a contemporary global issue and recommend economic actions, policies, and sustainable practices that have and may help mitigate the impact of this challenge on a global and local level. Students present their findings and defend their financially-feasible recommendations to a panel of industry executives, national thought and policy leaders, and post-secondary academicians. The first-place team from East Greenwich High School earned an all-expense-paid trip to New York City on Friday, June 18, where they will meet with financial industry executives and ring the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange.
