Decathletes visit Madera for Lecture Day

More than 500 Academic Decathletes from throughout California joined Madera County’s high school competitors in Madera for the 17th annual Academic Decathlon Lecture Day.

Valley experts lectured on six subject areas pertaining to this year’s Decathlon topic, “Our Changing Climate.”

“We are proud that Madera County is home to one of the only additional events related to Decathlon available to the entire state,” said Cecilia Massetti, Madera County Superintendent of Schools. “Through Lecture Day, students not only have the opportunity to learn valuable information, but they also have a chance to bond as a team and interact with students from other schools across the state.”
