Dallas ISD scholars race to academic glory at fun competition

0

The Dallas ISD’s Amazing Scholars Race, following the format of popular television series The Amazing Race, took place at A. Maceo Smith New Tech High School.

Middle and high school scholars competed in a variety of team events that included challenging problems in mathematics, science, English, and social studies, coupled with some good old-fashioned physical fitness. While only some of the scholars emerged as victors, all seemed to relish the opportunity to participate in the day’s activities.

The Advanced Academics team thanks Principal Choice and the A. Maceo Smith staff for graciously hosting this event and helping to ensure its success.
