Fun fact - we are the only high school in Chester County (out of 24 schools) to have both our varsity AND our JV team in the championship!
The Chester County Academic Competition is now in its 32nd year.  It is organized and conducted by the CCIU and sponsored by the Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union.  Here is their main website:  http://www.cciu.org/page/382
