Three Orange County Academic Decathlon teams are headed to the California Academic Decathlon State Championship.

Before traveling to Santa Clara for the March 19–22 competition, students from Woodbridge, Valencia and University high schools gathered for a dinner hosted by the Orange County Academic Decathlon Association. The evening gave competitors a chance to meet, connect and build camaraderie as they prepare to represent Orange County at the state competition.

Good luck to these outstanding students.

great work team! this season is definitely one to remember. despite all the ups and the downs, everyone showed up and gave it their best! hopefully, it’s enough to get us to state. but, if this is the end of the road, at least we were able to go out with a bang. 💚
