< RETURN TO GEORGIA ACADEMIC DECATHLON DATES AND REGISTRATION Georgia Academic Decathlon GAD Info for Superintendents and Principals August 2024 Dear High School Principals and School District Superintendents: The Professional Association of Georgia Educators and members of the PAGE Georgia Academic Decathlon Advisory Board extend this invitation to your high school students, grades 9 through 12, to participate in the 2024-25 Season of the PAGE Georgia Academic Decathlon (GAD) program. This program is unique in that it provides an incentive for the average student as well as the academically talented student to become interested in intellectual activities, thereby, opening the door to academic achievement for all students. Academic Decathlon has been shown to help prepare students for college. Please see usad.org to see how the USAD curriculum correlates to the national common core curriculum and content standards. The curriculum this year, as each year, is exciting and rigorous. The curriculum theme for 2024-25 is “Our Changing Climate.” Linked here is an abbreviated copy of the curriculum outline and some additional information. Once again you have an opportunity to present a very exciting and challenging curriculum as well as the opportunity to develop writing, public speaking, and interview skills to the students of your high school(s) through this incredible program. In addition to the PAGE Georgia Academic Decathlon website (which you are currently viewing), we encourage you to visit the United States Academic Decathlon® (USAD) website ( www.usad.org ) to learn more about the program nationally. While on the PAGE GAD website, the navigation menu will allow you to navigate through all related pages. The “About” section has a link to a GAD promotional video as well as a video created by our parent organization, the United States Academic Decathlon. The decathlon curriculum makes a wonderful academic elective course. Offering the decathlon curriculum through an academic elective course would provide an opportunity for a class of students to be exposed to this challenging curriculum. We hope you will consider making this opportunity available to your students. The United States Academic Decathlon offers the opportunity for 6 schools to represent Georgia at national competition. The state champion and the next two highest scoring teams in different size divisions all earn the opportunity to go to nationals which will be in Des Moines, Iowa, May 1-3, 2025 (GAD registration does not cover this expense). Three other schools, one large, one medium, and one small, compete in an online national competition. Please review the information provided on our website and consider offering the Academic Decathlon program in your high school. The season participation fee is $200 per district. This fee covers the Fall Workshop for coaches and coordinators, mailings, some state competition costs (excluding travel and lodging) including participation in the Awards Banquet for your district’s winning team, awards, etc. The USAD basic curriculum package costs approximately $700 and is ordered directly from the national organization ( usad.org ). New schools may be eligible for a one time curriculum grant from USAD. Please notify us right away if your school wishes to apply for this grant. Additional expenses include a $50 online testing fee per school and a $100 State Competition fee for the teams who advance to State. Both of these fees are pass-through fees to cover additional National expenses. The deadline for your district to register for this season is October 15, but it’s important to begin studying earlier. The PAGE GAD Fall Workshop for coaches, decathletes, and district coordinators is scheduled for September 13th at Kennesaw State University’s KSU Center. There is no fee for coach(es) or other adults to attend. There is a $20 fee per student. Please encourage participation in this informative one-day workshop. If you are trying to learn about Academic Decathlon we encourage you to register for the Fall Workshop. “Bridge the Achievement Gap” Time and time again I hear stories from coaches, parents, and principals about how this program has made a difference in the study habits of students or had a positive affect on the academic performance of students. One such story was told me by the parents of one of the students participating on a decathlon team this school year. The parents told me that two years ago their son had a GPA below 2.4. After getting involved with decathlon their son’s GPA is now above 3.45. In just two years this young man who was turned off with school, had no desire to go to college, and did not think of himself of having any academic ability is now excited about learning and plans to attend college after his graduation this month. They credit this change to his participating in decathlon and the study tips his coach and team members taught him. I encourage you to think about decathlon as a possible way to “bridge the achievement gap” for some of those underachieving students in your school. This program is not just for high performing students. It includes those students who have below average GPAs. If you have any questions, please contact the State Director, Michelle Crawford, at gad@pageinc.org or 404-414-3041. We will be happy to assist you in getting your high school(s) involved with the PAGE Georgia Academic Decathlon program. We look forward to hearing from you. < RETURN TO GEORGIA ACADEMIC DECATHLON DATES AND REGISTRATION Back to Top CONTACT: Michelle Crawford GAD State Director mcrawford@pageinc.org 404-414-3041
