Team Coaches: Linsay Sisk.

FULTON SCIENCE ACADEMY HAS ENJOYED AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF ACADEMIC SUCCESS SINCE WE OPENED THE SCHOOL IN AUGUST 2001. THE ACADEMIC BOWL TEAM PLACED THIRD IN FULTON COUNTY LAST YEAR WHICH PLACED US IN THE REGIONALS FOR THE 2ND CONSECUTIVE YEAR. WE PLAN TO BUILD A TEAM THAT IS EVEN MORE SUCCESSFUL IN THE FUTURE AND THE FUTURE BEGINS NOW. LAST YEAR’S TEAM WAS PRIMARILY MADE UP OF 8TH GRADERS.  THIS YEAR WE WANT TO BUILD A TEAM WITH A CORE OF 6TH AND 7TH GRADERS SUPPORTED BY A FEW 8TH GRADERS HEADED BY THE TEAM CAPTAIN, MARIE GOETZKE.

The final team will be selected by an ACADEMIC BOWL COMMITTEE headed by , our Academic Bowl coaches.  With the help of the School Administration staff and faculty, this committee will select an Academic Bowl team which will begin competing the first week in November as we did last year. The exact dates have not been selected for the Fulton County competition as of this date.  Each county holds its own competitions prior to Regionals in January 2008.  Fulton County has at least 20 different schools competing each year and the completion is split into two separate “pools”, A and B.  The top two winners in each pool qualify for the regionals.
