Washougal students competed with 25 teams representing Washougal High School, Camas High School, Union High School, Columbia Adventist Academy, and Hockinson High School. Staff and community volunteers served as judges and timers during each round of oral questions, getting to see first hand the amazing knowledge participating students displayed.
More than 120 students applied classroom knowledge and teamwork skills during the Knowledge Bowl competition. Teams completed in a round of written questions and then competed with two other teams as part of two rounds of oral questions.
Athletic and club events like this one are funded by the Washougal School Levy. Generous voter support creates great opportunities for students to explore their interests, develop their talent, and share their passion with our community. Knowledge Bowl is also offered at the middle school level in Washougal.
“I’ve been involved with Knowledge Bowl for nearly 30 years, and the best part is working with these young adults. Knowledge Bowl is an incredible way for our academic focused students to develop leadership and teamwork skills in a very fast-paced competitive setting,” said Dale Croswell, Knowledge Bowl coach at Washougal High School. Croswell has coached Knowledge Bowl in both Washougal and Camas, was the past regional coordinator for ESD 112, and was a state Knowledge Bowl coordinator for Washington.
