5th Year in A Row for Drury Aca Deca!

The Drury High School Academic Decathlon "A" team advanced to the State Competition by getting top scores in the Regional Competition at Pittsfield High School this past weekend. The regional competition (a national event)includes schools in the Central & South Berkshires and all of Western Massachusetts. During the daylong event, each team tries to score the most points on a series of 10 categories: art, economics, essay, interview, language and literature, mathematics, music, science, social science and speech.

The two highest scoring teams qualify for the state competition, and this is the 5th straight year that Drury has achieved this. My son & daughter both took part in two previous Academic Decathlon wins. It's a big deal for Drury and North Adams to come out on top at an event that measures academic performance against that of other school districts.

Congratulations to the Drury students who once again showed that a quality school education is available to all who put in the effort in the North Adams School District.
