Join us as we cheer on these exceptional students and celebrate the power of learning and academic achievement in our region!

WCTE PBS proudly presented the second-annual Middle School Academic Bowl in May 2025, showcasing the brightest young minds from across the Upper Cumberland!

This year, eight teams from six schools faced off in a double elimination competition, testing their knowledge, teamwork, and quick thinking in a fast-paced academic showdown. All the teams made a great showing, but in the end, Upperman took home the trophy. 

• 1st Upperman Middle
• 2nd Prescott South Middle C Team
• 3rd Algood Middle School (winner of the Dr. Fred Culp Spirit of Competition Award)
