Are you smarter than a 7th, 8th or 9th grader? You may not feel like it after you watch a round of a JHKB competition.  JHKB is an interdisciplinary academic program that strives to develop retention/recall skills, team skills, self-confidence, good sportsmanship and competitive skills. Teams work cooperatively to solve oral and written questions.

Senior High Knowledge Bowl is an interdisciplinary academic contest that combines intense competition with the incredible skill of knowledge recall.  Team members work cooperatively to solve oral and written questions while teams race against each other to be the first to "buzz in" and answer the question correctly.
