Quiz Bowl is an academic competition in which two teams of four students compete head to head using a buzzer system to be the first to answer questions read by a moderator. The fast-paced format tests the combined prowess of the teams to determine the ultimate winner.
The board also recognized students from Penn-Griffin School for the Arts as winners of the Black History Quiz Bowl tournament. Penn-Griffin has been the undefeated champion since the Quiz Bowl started five years ago.
The Black History Quiz Bowl is sponsored locally by Omega Psi Phi Fraternity and the Preparing Our Youth Foundation. Questions were created by High Point historian Glenn R. Chavis."
