Academic
Teams |
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.
Mrs. Stevenson has
coached the Quiz
Team since 1985 and
she is available to
answer any questions
students have about
the team. Most new
team members are
asked to join their
Sophomore year.
Federal Economics
Challenge Team
A team of five
students participate
in a 30 minute
competition
regarding the
Federal Reserve and
our nation's money
supply and interest
rates. They present
their argument for
15 minutes then
answer questions
fielded to them by
Federal Reserve
Board economists at
the Federal Reserve
Band in Pittsburgh
for another 15
minutes. Student
must be very
knowledgeable about
the working of the
Deferral Reserve
system and willing
to put in extra
hours of hard work.
Often much of the
preparation is done
in Economics class.
However, the Federal
Challenge Club is
open to any Junior
or Senior who has an
interest in
economics, is
willing to work on a
presentation and
would like to travel
to Pittsburgh
overnight.
Mock U.N. Debate
Team
The United Nations
Debate Team was
formed at Fisher
Catholic in 1999.
Team members are
assigned a country
and will discuss and
debate serious
issues currently
facing the world
with member
"nations" from other
schools. Members of
the team do study
and research to
prepare to
accurately portray
the point of view of
the nation they
represent. The
United Nations
Debate Team is open
to all students at
Fisher Catholic who
have an interest in
Social Studies and
debate. Students
must prepare a
formal "Position
paper" that presents
their country's
foreign policy and
attitude to specific
world situations and
events. |
