Students will study mathematics, economics, art, music, language, literature, social science, and science as it relates to the year’s theme. In addition, students will also learn interview skills, practice essay writing and prepare for academic tests and competitions.

Students will be required to compete with other high schools as part of the SHS Academic Decathlon Team.
