The Roald Amundsen High School Academic Decathlon Team is home of the Viking Decathletes. We are accountable, honorable, and scholarly!!! Our practices follow a similar structure. First we spend between 60 - 90 minutes studying the assigned section or resource. Then we take a Kahoot that has DemiDec or USAD questions together as a team. Throughout the summer we complete many DemiDec focus quizzes and read the assigned book. We host an annual Viking Scrimmage in early fall that tests students on the art, literature, and social science resource.
