Competing Whiz Quiz Teams Announced
Fort Worth ISD students will flex their mental muscles January 21-23, 2020, in the 42nd Whiz Quiz, an annual event which we call the Sport of Knowledge.
The teams advancing to the Whiz Quiz semifinals are finalized.
Whiz Quiz is a Jeopardy-style academic competition in which two five-member teams square off to answer rapid-fire questions about science, literature, social studies, geography, grammar, math and pop culture.
Asking the questions will be Fort Worth ISD alumni, media celebrity Jeff Jamison and Star-Telegram columnist Bud Kennedy.
Night one gets underway at 5 p.m. Tuesday, January 21, 2020 at the Fort Worth ISD Board Room, 2903 Shotts St. Subsequent matches will also be held in the Board Room.
