Vermont-NEA Scholars Bowl

Vermont's high school question-and-answer
academic competition for the last 30 years.

Welcome to the home of competitive academics in the state of Vermont. Since the 1983-84 school year, the Vermont-NEA Scholars' Bowl has been challenging teams of high school students to show their smarts in a fast-paced question-and-answer format. This year as we celebrated our 30th anniversary, Essex beat schools from around the state to earn the right to represent Vermont in national competition.
