Quiz Team: The Fisher Catholic Quiz Team is a very competitive
academic team that competes all over the country in various academic
quiz competitions. The team is made up of 10 – 14 students who become
members of this highly selective team by attending “try-outs” held at
Fisher Catholic each September for several weeks. Try-outs are
open to every student at Fisher Catholic; however, only a
select few students are chosen for the team. Team membership
requires a commitment to attend practice, study assigned material and
participate in all required games, meets, matches and
competition.
The
“starters”are more experienced members and are expected to be the
most involved. Newer members may be excused for sports, band,
church, family situations as needed. The Fisher Catholic Quiz
Team is a two-time State of Ohio Championship Team 2004, 2006. The team represented the entire state of Ohio at Disney World in 1991, 2004, 2006.

members are asked to join their Sophomore year.
