In addition to winning the Metro League championship, the SUHi Academic Decathlon team has scored enough points to qualify for the California State Academic Decathlon Competition!  The competition will take place March 16 ­- 20 in Sacramento.

Not only is this the first time that a Sweetwater district team has qualified for a Wild Card spot, but it is the first time a San Diego County team has qualified. Please congratulate the team for their amazing success this year and wish them luck as the season continues!
