African American Heritage Quiz Bowl



The African American Heritage Quiz Bowl is an annual event held in February in celebration of Black History Month. Sixth through twelfth grade students compete for U.S. Savings Bonds and trophies in a contest that tests their knowledge of African Americans in history. The Quiz Bowl increases awareness of the role of African Americans in American history and enlightens all Americans of the contributions that African Americans have made toward the success of our multicultural society.

The Quiz Bowl consists of two divisions. Division I includes students from grades 6-8 and Division II includes students in grades 9-12. Students compete in teams of three. Each team is supervised by at least one coach. Each team member receives an award for participating. In addition, savings bonds and trophies are awarded to the first through fourth place winners in each division.

This year's Quiz Bowl competition was an overwhelming success with quality matches between teams from throughout Louisiana supported by an enthusiastic audience. A special thanks to our event co-sponsors Louisiana State University at Alexandria.
