Academy "Dream Teams"

and

The Challenge - Long Island

(exclusively by CABLEVISION)

In November 2007 our second "Dream Team" took the LONG ISLAND CHALLENGE.  The CHALLENGE is an annual competition among 32 randomly selected public and private high schools across Long Island.  Like "The College Bowl" of yesteryear or "Jeopardy" of today, the CHALLENGE pits the best and brightest minds (and fastest trigger fingers!) from one school against those of another school until three schools are left standing.  Those schools compete with the winners from Connecticut and New Jersey for the grand prize of $10,000 for the winning school.  Our school won the lotteries to compete two years in a row.  Last year's ASJ team won two rounds, besting an arch-rival: Ward Melville High School!  This year's team lost to Smithtown Christian School but not without two challenges to the judges' calls.  Due in no small part to our fine Humanities Program, our teams shone in the areas of Art, Art History, Music, Social Studies and Literature.  We are proud of our teams and look forward to future opportunities to have other ASJ "Dream Teams" test their mettle and show the wide range of knowledge Academy women possess.
