Academic Team Coach - Jeff Smith
OCS has a varsity squad made up of 10th - 12th grade students. This team competes in the OSSAA Academic Bowl. The competition consist of playing a game format that features 4 on 4 competitions. A team of 4 students will compete against a team of 4 students from different schools. There are two toss-up rounds of questions that are answered by individual team members. These rounds utilize a lock-out buzzer system. In addition, two speed rounds are played in which each team picks a topic and answers ten questions within sixty seconds. Toss-up and speed round subjects include literature; history; science and math; social sciences; fine arts; geography; religion, mythology, and philosophy; current events; and general knowledge. Just because you don't know something about all of these categories doesn't mean you can't be a big help to the team, we are always looking for students with specialized interests to round out the team!
Our Academic Teams consistently competes at the top of our class. We have advanced to the Area competition regularly over the last few years and even enjoyed an invitation to the State Tournament in 2011.
