Calling All Brainiacs – It’s Whiz Quiz Time!
Fort Worth ISD students will flex their mental muscles next week in the Whiz Quiz semi-finals and finals. This is the 41st year of Whiz Quiz in our District. We call it the Sport of Knowledge.
“It’s just as good as watching the Cowboys, if not better,” said Norma Burks, the District’s academic activities coordinator.
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 CBS11 meteorologist Jeff Jamison and Star-Telegram columnist Bud Kennedy.
