What is Quest?
The Quest High School Academic Competition is the premiere high school academic competition in Kansas.
The competition begins on Super Saturday, which takes place every year on the first Saturday of December. On this day, teams representing Kansas high schools come to the Washburn University campus for the opportunity to test their knowledge of topics ranging from history, music and government, to art, literature, math and physical science.
- Identical timed exams are administered to each team
- Scores are tabulated and awards are presented to teams in 1A through 6A classifications
- The 16 teams earning the highest scores are recognized and receive the opportunity to compete in the televised, single-elimination tournament filmed on later dates at KTWU studios
