[edit] Quiz Team
Dublin Scioto has consistently wielded a strong Quiz Team that competes mainly in the In The Know tournament produced by WOSU. In recent years, Dublin Scioto has advanced far under the leadership of Advisor Tim Hayes. Under captain Laszlo Seress, the 2009-2010 team advanced to the semifinals. The following year was considered the best performance by Scioto in the In The Know tournament ever. Under the leadership of Senior Captains Meredith Haddix and Suhas Gudhe, in addition with Senior Alex Filice and Freshman Arjun Venkataraman, the team advanced to the In The Know finals. Along the way, the team upset major quiz team programs such as Olentangy Liberty High School, Centennial High School, Bishop Watterson High School, and cross town rivals Dublin Coffman. Against Dublin Coffman, regulation ended with a score of 500-500. Meredith answered Gordon Gee in the tiebreaker for a Dublin Scioto Victory. However, due to an outburst by audience members, the question was re-asked with only Meredith allowed to answer. During the second recording, many Dublin Coffman team members had started tearing up, making a very interesting episode in which it seemed that Dublin Coffman already knew its fate before the question. Also that season, Dublin Scioto managed to limit the points of Quiz Team Powerhouse Walnut Hills High School in the Brain Game. The 2011-2012 features returning team members Arjun Venkataraman (Captain) and Ben Albert (President), along with Nick Gorelov and Neil Bhuta with high expectations.
[edit] Change of curriculum
The curriculum and student handbook at Dublin Scioto High School as well as at the other two high schools in the Dublin City School District were revised in order to conform with the International Baccalaureate degree program. These changes, which took effect in the 2008-09 school year, include recognizing all students with a GPA of 4.1 or above to receive valedictorian status; a shift from a seven period day to an eight period day; and a change from year long 1.0 credit courses to semester 0.5 credit courses.[4]
