The Commissioner’s Academic Challenge (CAC) is a statewide high school tournament inaugurated in 1986. Students enrolled in grades 9-12 during the 2021-2022 school year are eligible to be on a district team with each district represented by one team consisting of a coach and six students. Districts are placed in three divisions based on overall student population. A maximum of six teams may compete in one competition round. Teams are asked questions from the areas of language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, the fine arts, world languages (French and Spanish), physical education, health and technology. The questions are written by educators from high schools throughout the state. This year’s CAC will take place in Spring 2022.
