For the fifth time in six years, Woodbridge High School has won the Orange County Academic Decathlon.
The news broke late Wednesday afternoon during an online awards ceremony that announced dozens of individual and team honors tied to the 10-event scholastic contest. With its victory, Woodbridge is headed back to the California Academic Decathlon in March.
“According to the students, the competition tests were very difficult this year, and their scores reflect it,” said Woodbridge coach Mike Nakaue. “But they know if you establish good individual and team study habits, it can result in a winning outcome. This team has proven it. This team also discovered that once you are an academic decathlon decathlete, you are forever bound together with decathletes of the past.”
Nakaue said his students’ goal for the California Academic Decathlon will be “to enjoy learning, do the best they can to represent the county, and try to finish in the top 10 out of the 87 invited schools.”
Congrats WHS Warriors!
