Academic Team

Governor’s Cup has become the state’s premier academic event, involving over 20,000 students, nearly 1200 schools, and thousands of coaches, administrators, parents and community leaders who see the rewards gained from encouraging academic performance through properly structured and professionally administered academic competition.


Governor’s Cup consists of eight events:

• Five Written Assessment Examinations–in Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Language Arts and Arts/Humanities
  
  
• Composition–On-Demand Writing
  
  
• Quick Recall
  
  
• Future Problem Solving–an award-winning creative thinking competition
  

Students must attend practice before and/or after school.  Some written assessments take place on school nights and Quick Recall and other assessments take place on Saturdays at host schools in surrounding counties.  Parents are responsible for getting their child to the events.
