HHCA TAKES THIRD AT LOCAL ACADEMIC WORLDQUEST COMPETITION By Nicolas Panzarella
On Saturday, January 28, 2023, Hilton Head Christian Academy participated in the World Affairs Council’s local Academic WorldQuest competition against ten other local schools (both public and independent). The local competition is a qualifier for the national Academic WorldQuest competition in April, which HHCA attended last year after taking first place in the 2021-2022 local competition. Because HHCA won the competition last year, this year’s competition was hosted in the PAC at HHCA. Academic WorldQuest is a quiz bowl-like competition in which teams of four students compete against each other in answering questions about world events. These events are organized into different topics which make up the five rounds of the competition. The topics for this year’s local competition were Securing the Future of the World’s Wildlife, Combating Global Food Insecurity, The Future of Supply Chains, Battle of the Century: Autocracy vs. Democracy, and Current Events. Each topic got one round, and each round consisted of ten questions, with each question being worth one point. There were 50 questions in total. 1 February 2023
