Eisenhower High Academic Decathlon Team Shines at Regional Academic Decathlon Competition

The Regional Academic Decathlon event was originally scheduled for Jan. 24-25. The school closures on Jan. 24 due to weather changed the agenda. Students competed all day on Saturday, Jan. 25 at Magnolia West High School. Eisenhower High School had five of nine team members compete at the regional event with each one demonstrating their academic prowess.
